UK Summons Russian Ambassador To Revoke Accreditation Of Diplomat

Britain has summoned the Russian ambassador to London for a meeting with a senior British official to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat.

“This is in response to Russia’s unprovoked and baseless decision to strip the accreditation of a British diplomat in Moscow in November,” the Foreign Office said.

“Any further action taken by Russia will be considered an escalation and responded to accordingly.”
