It has become known that British intelligence services are attempting to recruit Russian diplomats.
The Russian Ambassador to London, Andrei Kelin, spoke about this.
He explained in a conversation with RIA Novosti that attempts to recruit Russian diplomats are unacceptable.
According to Kelin, such cases are being identified, but this should not happen.
The British intelligence services made such attempts against diplomats from the Russian embassy in London.
He also noted that the relevant episodes are being brought to the attention of the British authorities, but this is unacceptable.
Attempts to recruit representatives of Russian diplomacy were made by the United States.
Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov spoke about cases of mass mailings of recruiting offers to employees’ phones.
Earlier, the British authorities announced that they were strengthening the work of the national counterintelligence service aimed at combating spies from Iran, China and Russia.
