The UK's Home Office has expelled a Russian defence attache, labeling them an "undeclared military intelligence officer" amidst heightened tensions with Moscow. Home Secretary James Cleverly cited Russia's "reckless and dangerous activities across Europe" as the rationale behind the measures. Additionally, diplomatic premises status will be revoked from suspected intelligence-linked properties, with new visa restrictions imposed on Russian diplomats. Cleverly delivered a stern message to Russia, urging an end to "illegal war" in Ukraine and cessation of "malign activity." The expulsion underscores ongoing diplomatic strains between the two nations.
