Britain has announced a series of measures targeting Moscow's intelligence gathering operations in the U.K., including the expulsion of Russia's defense attaché accused of being a spy. The Home Secretary stated that these actions are in response to what he described as the 'reckless and dangerous activities of the Russian government across Europe.'
In addition to expelling the attaché, who was labeled an 'undeclared military intelligence officer,' the U.K. will revoke the diplomatic status of several Russian-owned properties believed to have been used for intelligence purposes. Furthermore, new restrictions will be imposed on Russian diplomatic visas and visits.
