LONDON: The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development office said in a statement it had revoked a Russian diplomat’s accreditation in retaliation for Russia’s expulsion of a UK diplomat last November.

"We have summoned the Russian Ambassador for a meeting with a senior British official to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat," the Foreign Office said in a statement, adding that the move came in response to the Russian Foreign Ministry’s "unprovoked and baseless" decision to strip the accreditation of a British diplomat in Moscow in November.

"Any further action taken by Russia will be considered an escalation and responded to accordingly," the Foreign Office said.

The Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB) reported in November 2024 that the second secretary of the political department of the UK Embassy in Moscow, Wilkes Edward Pryor, who replaced one of the six British intelligence officers working at the embassy before being expelled in August, has also been stripped of his diplomatic accreditation. He was given two weeks to leave Russia.

The UK Foreign Office dismissed the accusations as baseless and vowed to retaliate. The Russian ministry promised a tit-for-tat response if London chooses to escalate the situation any further.
