British diplomat expelled from Russia after being accused of being a spy

The expulsion of the British diplomat underscores the fragile state of UK-Russia relations, which have been strained by a series of accusations and counter-accusations involving espionage. Such actions may be seen as a strategic move by Russia to assert its stance against perceived Western interference, while also serving as a warning to other foreign diplomats. The lack of concrete evidence presented by Moscow raises questions about the validity of the claims and the motivations behind them.
