Russia Expels British Diplomat, UK Dismisses Spying Claims

On March 30, Russia expelled a British diplomat on Monday, hitting him with spying charges

that the UK flat out called complete nonsense.

The Federal Security Service claims the guy was running intelligence ops, threatening Russia's

security.

This marks the second British expulsion this year, after one back in January that London

dismissed his baseless too.

In response then, the UK booted a Russian diplomat in February.

UK officials from the foreign office are standing firm, rejecting the latest accusations

without hesitation.

Tensions keep escalating with more diplomat swabs, like Russia kicking out two brits in

March 2025 over similar claims.

These back and forth moves echo the Cold War vibes, wrapping up since Russia rolled into

Ukraine back in February 2022, showing no.

Signs of cooling off anytime soon.
