The Russian Ambassador was summoned for a meeting to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat
A Foreign Office spokesperson said:
We have summoned the Russian Ambassador for a meeting with a senior British official to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat.
This is in response to Russia's unprovoked and baseless decision to strip the accreditation of a British diplomat in Moscow in November.
The UK will not stand for intimidation of our staff in this way, and so we are taking reciprocal action.
Any further action taken by Russia will be considered an escalation and responded to accordingly.
