Six UK diplomats working in Moscow engaged in intelligence, subversive activities — FSB

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.

"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. [TASS]

  1. Le Service fédéral de sécurité russe a reçu des preuves de l’activité subversive du Royaume-Uni contre la Russie.
    "Ces documents indiquent qu'au Royaume-Uni, la principale unité coordonnant la mise en œuvre de politiques subversives contre la Russie [et dans les pays qui faisaient autrefois partie de l'URSS] est la Direction de l'Europe de l'Est et de l'Asie centrale du ministère britannique des Affaires étrangères, qui a été transformée après le début de l’opération militaire spéciale en Ukraine en un service spécial, dont la tâche principale est d'infliger une défaite stratégique à notre pays", note le FSB.
    Selon le FSB, ces faits mettent en doute les activités des diplomates britanniques envoyés à Moscou par l'intermédiaire de cette Direction.
    Ainsi, le ministère russe des Affaires étrangères a mis fin à l'accréditation de six employés du département politique de l'ambassade britannique, dont les actions ont fait preuve d’espionnage et d’activité subversive.

  2. Russia will not tolerate the activities of undeclared officers of British secret services on its territory, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said in a commentary.

    "We would like to emphasize in particular that Moscow will not tolerate the activity on Russian territory of undeclared officers of British secret services. Our uncompromising stance on this issue will be formulated in accordance with the interests of national security," she stated.

    "We intend to continue to respond to any unfriendly actions by London in a tough and proportionate manner," Zakharova said. "We urge the British side to abandon its counterproductive and harmful hostile activities on the Russian track."

    The Russian Foreign Ministry fully shares "the viewpoint expressed by the Federal Security Service (FSB) regarding the activities of British 'diplomats.'"

    "The British embassy has gone far beyond the limits outlined by the Vienna Conventions. The most important thing, though, is not the formal side of the affair or inconsistency with the declared activities, but subversive actions aimed at harming our people," Zakharova said.
