UK expels Russian diplomat, summons ambassador in tit-for-tat move

Apr 30, 2026

Moscow [Russia], April 30: The UK is expelling a Russian diplomat and summoning ambassador Andrey Kelin in a tit-for-tat move following similar action by Moscow last month.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said on Wednesday it was taking "reciprocal action" for Russia's "unjustified" decision in March to remove a British diplomat from the country. A Government spokesperson said: "We strongly condemn Russia's unjustified decision last month to expel another British diplomat and the malicious public smear campaign that followed. This behaviour is wholly unacceptable, and we will not tolerate harassment or intimidation of our diplomatic staff.
"We have therefore summoned the Russian ambassador to announce we are taking reciprocal action, revoking the accreditation of a Russian diplomat."
