Tensions between London and Moscow have flared once again after Russia's domestic intelligence agency ordered the expulsion of a British diplomat accused of spying.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has formally leveled espionage charges against the second secretary stationed at the British Embassy in Moscow, prompting an immediate and forceful pushback from British officials.
The UK government has vehemently rejected the spying allegations, characterizing the expulsion order as a baseless act of "intimidation." This latest diplomatic clash marks yet another deterioration in the already severely strained relationship between the two nations.
