British diplomats in Moscow face harassment from FSB
British diplomats in Moscow face ongoing harassment from Russia's FSB, including break-ins and intimidation. This follows a recent tit-for-tat expulsion of diplomats by both countries amid rising tensions over Ukraine. Seven British diplomats have been expelled from Russia in the past year. The FSB employs various tactics to psychologically unsettle diplomats, including surveillance and overt harassment, aiming to disrupt their work and morale. The UK Foreign Office prepares diplomats for these challenges through extensive training and support. This includes security briefings and assessments of personal vulnerabilities to help them navigate the difficult environment in Moscow.
