A British diplomat has been ordered to leave Russia, with officials accusing the man of being an intelligence agent working undercover at the embassy in Moscow, BBC reported.
The man, who has not been identified, has been stripped of his accreditation and must leave the country within two weeks, Russia's foreign ministry said on Thursday.
In a statement, the ministry added that it had summoned British charge d'affaires Danae Dholakia over the matter, according to BBC.
