Diplomacy: Russia shows two British diplomats

Russia has again shown two British diplomats for alleged espionage. According to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow, the domestic secret service FSB exposed an unvited secret service presence under the guise of the British embassy.

The government in London rejected the allegations. “It is not the first time that Russia has raised malicious and reasonless accusations against our employees,” said a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry.

The diplomats have two weeks to leave

According to Russian information, the second secretary of the message and the husband of the first secretary of the political department are affected. A representative of the British embassy was therefore ordered to the Foreign Ministry.

According to FSB, the two British should have made incorrect information in the application for their entry permit. At the same time, signs of intelligence and subversive activities of these diplomats were found, which threatened Russia’s security. That is why the Foreign Ministry has withdrawn the accreditations and asked them to leave. You have to leave the country within two weeks.

Spy for Russia – presumably on behalf of Jan Marsalek

Moscow and London repeatedly argue about diplomats and alleged espionage. Since the beginning of Wladimir Putin, who was ordered by Kremlin chief Wladimir Putin on Ukraine, relationships between Russia and Great Britain have also been tense. At the beginning of February, the dispute reached a new escalation level with the opening of criminal proceedings. A woman is said to have encountered a presumably British diplomat, which is why it was determined for assault, it said at the time.

In a spy of the espionage for Russia, two women and a man from Bulgaria were guilty in London last week. They presumably acted on behalf of ex-wirecard board member Jan Marsalek, as reported by the Pa news agency. They face prison terms of up to 14 years.
