Britain Rejects Russian Accusations Against Diplomats

Britain has firmly rejected claims from Russia's FSB security service that its diplomats in Moscow have been involved in spying and sabotage. The UK Foreign Office described these accusations as baseless and defended the revocation of six British diplomats' accreditations as a protective measure for national interests.

In a robust response on Friday, Britain dismissed allegations by Russia's FSB security service that its diplomats were engaged in espionage and sabotage activities. The FSB had previously revoked the accreditation of six British diplomats in Moscow.

A spokesperson for the British Foreign Office labeled the accusations as 'completely baseless,' emphasizing that the recent revocation followed actions by the UK government in response to Russian activities in Europe and the UK.

'We are unapologetic about protecting our national interests,' stated the Foreign Office, underscoring their stance on the diplomatic tensions.
