Russia expels British diplomat over spying allegations

Russia has expelled a British diplomat, revoking their accreditation and ordering them to leave within two weeks. Moscow says the diplomat was involved in economic espionage, and used that accusation to justify the expulsion. The UK condemned the move, calling the allegations malicious and baseless. This action is the latest in a series of tit-for-tat expulsions, further straining bilateral ties and complicating intelligence and diplomatic cooperation.
