according to foreign media reports, russia announced on september 13 local time that it had suspended the work permits of six british diplomats in the russian embassy, ​​accusing them of "engaging in intelligence and subversive activities."

russian foreign ministry spokeswoman zakharova said in a statement that the diplomats were carrying out "subversive activities aimed at harming the russian people." a russian federal security service official also said that it had been decided to expel them.

the british side responded that the allegations were "completely without any basis."

reuters also noted that russia announced the expulsions shortly before british prime minister starmer met with u.s. president joe biden at the white house. biden told starmer that the united states was committed to helping ukraine with britain.

some analysts believe that the talks between the leaders of the united states and britain are a key step for kiev to obtain approval to use western long-range missiles to strike russian targets deep inside the country. however, neither biden nor starmer commented on long-range missiles in front of reporters. the white house also said earlier that it had no plans to announce any new policies toward ukraine.
