Russia Expels British Diplomats, Labels UK a ‘Warmonger’ Amid Rising Tensions

The diplomatic rift between Russia and Britain has deepened after Moscow expelled two British diplomats, accusing them of espionage. The move, condemned as "baseless" by the UK, marks a significant escalation in tensions, as Russia shifts its rhetoric from the U.S. to Britain.

In a fiery statement, Russia’s foreign intelligence service (SVR) labeled the UK a "warmonger," accusing London of undermining diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine war. The row follows British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s support for Ukraine, including discussions on deploying troops and increased military aid.

Russia’s stance against the UK has intensified, with threats to seize British assets and accusations of sabotage. The Kremlin has even revived historical grievances, portraying Britain as a long-time adversary dating back to the Crimean War.

The UK government remains firm in its support for Ukraine, with Starmer urging international unity against Russian aggression. Despite Russia’s warnings, Britain continues to lead Western efforts in aiding Kyiv, further straining relations with Moscow.

As tensions mount, the fallout from this latest diplomatic clash could reshape the geopolitical landscape, with Britain now firmly in Russia’s crosshairs.
