Russia Orders British Diplomat to Leave
Russia has ordered a British diplomat to leave Moscow. The diplomat worked at the British embassy in Moscow.
Russia accused the diplomat of spying. The United Kingdom said the charges were not true.
A UK Foreign Office spokesman commented on Russia's actions. He said Russia runs a planned campaign of harassment. The campaign targets British diplomats.
Klear Note — Countries sometimes expel diplomats when they accuse them of spying. Both sides often deny the charges. These expulsions are a common way nations show anger toward each other.
