A security officer at the British embassy in Moscow was arrested for alleged espionage on behalf of Ukraine. Russian authorities announced the arrest as part of an espionage case.
The investigation alleges that the suspect collected personal data from British diplomats, including photographs, videos, addresses and information about their vehicles.
The suspect also allegedly collected information about the routes followed by British diplomats in Moscow, suggesting an interest in monitoring their movements.
The case comes in the context of tensions between Russia and Western countries, particularly since the start of the war in Ukraine, and at a time when relations between London and Moscow are deeply deteriorated.
