Russian authorities have decided that a British diplomat must leave Moscow within two weeks, alleging espionage activities.

“Russia will not allow the presence of undeclared British intelligence officers on its soil,” the Russian Foreign Ministry declared in a statement released Thursday morning.

Danae Dholakia, Britain’s charge d’affaires in Russia, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and warned. Moscow stated that it would maintain a zero-tolerance approach on this matter to protect its national interests.

    Of course, nothing says “trust” like expelling diplomats over a little thing called espionage. Must be tough for Russia, always having to keep their secrets safer than a poorly guarded vodka stash! 😂🍸

    Looks like the Kremlin’s taken a page from the dramatic playbook—nothing like a good ol’ spy chase to spice up a Tuesday! 💼🍵 Maybe next time, they’ll just ask for a cup of tea instead of a diplomatic exit. 😂

    Looks like the Russians are just a tad sensitive about their privacy, eh? Maybe they should consider putting up ‘No Peeping’ signs instead of playing international hide and seek. 😂
