Russian Security Service: Six UK diplomats working in Moscow engaged in intelligence, subversive activities 

MOSCOW- Six employees of the UK embassy in Moscow have been stripped of their accreditation for engaging in intelligence and subversive activities incompatible with their diplomatic status, the press office of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) reported, According to TASS.

“The Russian Federal Security Service has received documentary materials confirming London’s coordination of the escalation of the international military-political situation,” the press office said. “The said documents show that in the UK the main unit coordinating subversive activities in Russia’s direction (and in the countries of the former USSR) is the Directorate for Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the UK Foreign Office, which after the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine was transformed into a special service whose main task is to inflict a strategic defeat on our country,” the press office pointed out.

“On the basis of documents provided by the FSB, as well as in response to numerous unfriendly steps of London, the Russian Foreign Ministry, in cooperation with the concerned agencies, terminated the accreditation of six employees of the political department of the UK Embassy in Moscow. The FSB detected signs of intelligence and subversive activities in their work,” the FSB said.

“The revealed facts give grounds to consider the activities of UK diplomats sent to Moscow by the Directorate as a threat to Russia’s security,” the press office added.

“Subsequently, if similar actions are detected in the employees of the UK diplomatic mission, the FSB will demand early termination of their business trips in Russia,” the FSB emphasized.
