Diplomatic Expulsions: UK's Embassy Staff Accused of Espionage

The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has ordered two individuals linked to the British embassy in Moscow to leave the country, accusing them of espionage. The FSB claims the individuals provided false information and engaged in activities threatening national security. They have been given two weeks to depart.

Russia has decided to expel two individuals associated with the British embassy in Moscow, alleging their involvement in espionage activities. This development was reported by the Russian state news agency TASS, citing the Federal Security Service (FSB).

The FSB accused the individuals of submitting false information upon entry into Russia and carrying out 'intelligence and sabotage work' that posed a threat to national security. As a consequence, they have been given a fortnight to leave the nation.

The British authorities have yet to respond to these allegations, and it's currently unclear how this incident will impact diplomatic relations between the two countries.
