EU expels over 400 Russian spies in 2022
About 600 Russian officials were expelled from EU countries in 2022, more than 400 of whom were recognized as spies, MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said during a briefing on Nov. 16. McCallum described it as the largest strategic blow to Russian intelligence services in recent European history.
“Together with the coordinated waves of sanctions, it took Putin by surprise,” he said.
He added the UK has refused more than 100 diplomatic visa applications from Russian citizens in 2022, due to national security concerns.
Nice keep that trash at the gutter.
I mentioned yesterday irish diplomats being sanctioned by russia. i think in the long run, the more russia does this tit for tat, the longer they will be excluded from the international community and it will just make life more difficult in general, for everyone. i think the expression cold war is a bit misleading as you dont need to fire bullets to kill people now days. for sure we are already in a global war to a degree.
