MOSCOW, 13 Sep — RIA Novosti.
The FSB has received documents confirming the involvement of the United Kingdom in the escalation of the international military-political situation in order to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, follows from the statement of the special service.
“These documents indicate that in In the United Kingdom, the main unit coordinating the conduct of subversive policies in the Russian direction (and in countries formerly part of the USSR) is the Directorate of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the British Foreign Ministry, which was transformed after the beginning of its To Ukraine in the special service, whose main task is to inflict strategic defeat on our country,” the FSB notes.
These facts give grounds to consider the activities of British diplomats sent to Moscow through the directorate as threatening Russia’s security. Therefore, the Foreign Ministry, on the basis of documents provided by the FSB and as a response to numerous unfriendly steps by London, terminated the accreditation of six employees of the political department of the British Embassy, whose actions showed signs of intelligence and subversive work.
The FSB stressed that they would seek an early termination of the business trips of those British diplomats who are suspected of similar activities.
This is not the first time that the FSB has uncovered the facts of intelligence and subversive work by the British in Of Russia. So, in February, the special service established that the “British Council” was engaged in intelligence for the Kiev regime in the Kherson region. In particular, Ukrainian refugees living in the UK were used for this purpose.
Officially, the British Council calls its goal the development of cooperation between the UK and other countries in the field of education, culture and art, but in fact this is only a cover for the British special services, the FSB stressed.
Who was deprived of accreditation
The Rossiya 24 TV channel listed the names of the diplomats deprived of accreditation:
Jessica Davenport; Callum Andrew Duff; Grace Alvin; Catherine McDonnell; Blake Patel; Thomas John Hixon Stevinet.
As an FSB operative told the TV channel, these diplomats, in particular, attended meetings of non-governmental organizations, often at risk to their own health.
“To be honest, we are tired of enduring this circus in the form of jogging along the Third Ring in the rain through the whole of Moscow and forest parks, one-day visits to cities neighboring the capital in order to sit on a bench for several hours in the bitter cold. Or multiple shifts of public transport and taxis in order to hide from the security authorities the visit of some gathering of NGOs-foreign agents engaged in lobbying for the interests of migrants,” the operative said.
He noted that London sends in Russia uses intelligence agents under the guise of diplomats, and uses young children as a cover.
According to the operative, the new Foreign Office structure has become a focal point for destabilizing the global situation by dragging all the world’s leading players into a global conflict.
