Pars Today- Russia deported 6 British diplomats accused of spying in the country.

The Russian foreign ministry informed of revoking the accreditation of 6 British diplomats due to espionage against Moscow. According to Pars Today, Spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, announcing on Friday that her country will not tolerate the stealthy activities of the employees of the British intelligence service on its soil, asked London to give up its hostile and unconstructive approach towards Moscow.

Pointing to Russia's repeated warnings on such measures, Zakharova stressed, "Any unfriendly action of London will face with Moscow's decisive reaction."

The Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman added, "The British embassy has acted much beyond the limitations determined in the Vienna Convention pertaining to diplomatic relations."

The Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB), issuing a statement, announced that it has gained access to documents which imply London's coordination for escalation of international military and political situation against Moscow.

Earlier in May, the British government had deported Moscow's military attaché in London with the pretext of Russia's increasing threats across Europe and had passed new sanctions against the country.

Recently, the US Justice Department indicted four activists of the rights of the black in the country and accused them of spying for Russia.

These measures have been taken while the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has traveled to Washington on giving permission to Ukraine to use the missiles provided by the West against Russia.
