Russia has made a bold move in the ongoing diplomatic tension with the United Kingdom, expelling British diplomat Wilkes Edward Prior on espionage charges. 🕵️♂️
On Tuesday, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that Prior had deliberately provided false information upon entering the country. The FSB further accused him of conducting intelligence and subversive activities that pose a threat to the security of the Russian Federation.
In response to the expulsion, Russia summoned the UK ambassador to the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow to address the matter. 🇷🇺🇬🇧
This recent expulsion marks the seventh UK diplomat removed from Russia this year alone, all under similar espionage allegations. The UK has reciprocally expelled Russian diplomats, continuing a stalemate in diplomatic relations rooted in accusations of spying between the two nations.
As tensions rise, both London and Moscow remain firm in their stance against each other's intelligence operations. There has been no immediate comment from the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office regarding the latest developments.
