The Russian Federation expels the British military attache and announced "further steps"

The ruling regime of Russia assures that it made such a decision in response to similar actions by London.

On Thursday, May 16, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the expulsion of the military attaché of the British Embassy in response to a similar move by London. In addition, the ruling regime of the Russian Federation assured that it was preparing "further steps". This is evidenced by a statement on the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called Britain's decision to expel the Russian attaché "a politically motivated action… causing irreparable damage to bilateral relations." The Kremlin traditionally began to declare the "Russophobic nature" of London's decision.

The representative of the British Embassy summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry was informed of the expulsion of the British defense attaché. The latter must now leave Russian territory within a week.

"Our reaction to the unfriendly anti-Russian actions of the British side announced on May 8 is not exhausted by this measure. The initiators of the escalation will be informed about further steps in response," the message clearly announced.
