00:00Russia announced on Monday that it was expelling two British diplomats stationed at the embassy
00:06in Moscow, accusing them of espionage.
00:09The Federal Security Service, FSB, claimed in the statements that the diplomats had submitted
00:14false personal details when applying for entry into Russia and were involved in alleged intelligent
00:20and subversive activities that posed a threat to national security.
00:24However, no evidence was provided to support these claims.
00:28Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, diplomatic expulsions between Moscow
00:34and Western nations have become increasingly frequent.
00:37Last month, London expelled a Russian diplomat in retaliation for an expulsion in November.
