An American serviceman has been arrested in Britain on suspicion of working for Russia.
On November 10, British law enforcement officers arrested an American soldier near the city of Gloucester, London police reported.
The man is suspected, among other things, of working for foreign intelligence services. Those allegations may be linked to Russia, London police added.
The police stated that they are working in close cooperation with the United States, and in particular the FBI, as part of the investigation in this case.
"This important arrest relates to accusations of espionage. This issue is of concern to the United States and our allies," said FBI Director Kash Patel.
The Russian side has repeatedly denied the allegations of espionage. Moreover, Moscow itself accused the Western countries of espionage and in connection with this, in particular, expelled foreign diplomats.
But we understand why all this is being done: the Westerners are trying to "improve the terms of negotiations")) but they will not succeed with this - our goals remain unchanged and we will achieve them.
