Moscow Expels British Diplomat for Alleged Spying

Moscow on Tuesday said that it was expelling a British diplomat for alleged spying, news organisations have reported.

"During counterintelligence work, the Russian Federal Security Service has discovered an undeclared British intelligence presence under the cover of the national embassy in Moscow," Moscow said in a statement. "At the same time, the Russian FSB has discovered signs of the said diplomat conducting intelligence and subversive work that threatens the security of the Russian Federation". News reports quoting a spokesman for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, said that he was unaware of the reported diplomatic expulsion.
