Great Britain has decided to expel the military attache of the Russian Embassy, Interior Minister James Clavarley said at a speech in parliament. He is quoted by Reuters.
We are talking about Maxim Elovik.
Claverley called him “an undercover military intelligence officer” and explained the expulsion as “a series of malicious actions on the part of Russia in the UK and Europe.”
“We will [also] revoke the diplomatic status of several properties associated with Russia, introduce new requirements for issuing diplomatic visas to Russians and restrictions on the length of stay for Russian diplomats,” he added.
