Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has accused two British diplomats of espionage and ordered their expulsion, which the UK has labeled as malicious and baseless. This action forms part of escalating diplomatic issues following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The UK government has condemned the accusations, reiterating that they represent a pattern of unfounded claims made against its officials. Accusations of espionage have intensified, demonstrated by recent convictions of individuals involved in spying for Russia and retaliatory actions between the two nations.
The UK Foreign Office spokesperson stated that this is not the first time Russia has made malicious and baseless accusations against our staff, highlighting ongoing tensions.
The FSB's actions are part of a continued deterioration of diplomatic relations resulting from Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a point underscored by the UK's response.
