Britain expels the Russian military attache

Also, in Britain, diplomatic status will be removed from several real estate objects used by Russians.

In Great Britain, they emphasized that they would send a Russian military attaché and introduce other restrictions on Russian diplomats. This is reported by Reuters .

“We will send a Russian defense attaché who is an undeclared military intelligence officer,” British Home Secretary James Cleverley told parliament.

Cleverley also said that several properties linked to Russia would be stripped of their diplomatic status in Britain.

“We are introducing new restrictions on Russian diplomatic visas, including limiting the length of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK,” Cleverley said.

As the British Minister of Internal Affairs emphasized, these decisions are related to Russia’s malicious activities in Britain and Europe.

Earlier in April, a British man was charged with alleged hostile state activity to benefit Russia, including by recruiting others to set fire to commercial real estate in London linked to Ukraine.

At the same time, as reported by the Kremlin-controlled Russian state agency “RIA.Novosti”, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova stated that Moscow will prepare an adequate response to the expulsion of the Russian attache from London.

As UNIAN reported, a group of young men were arrested in Great Britain who, on the order of the Kremlin, set fire to an industrial enterprise connected to Ukraine.

In particular, 20-year-old Dylan Earl and 22-year-old Jake Reeves were charged after a fire at an industrial warehouse on March 20 in east London. Three other men – Paul English, Nii Mensa and Dmytros Paulauska – are charged with arson.
