According to the statement from the Foreign Ministry, “the British side was imposed a decision to introduce a notification procedure for the movements of employees from the British diplomatic mission on the territory of Russia in response to London’s hostile policy.”

These new restrictions compel the diplomatic representation to send a notice at least five working days in advance to travel outside the 120-kilometer free movement zone.

The Foreign Ministry stressed that any effort by London to complicate the work of Russian missions abroad will receive a decisive response. In addition, UK Chargé d’Affaires Tom Dodd, who was summoned on Thursdy by the Russian Foreign Ministry, was informed about the inadmissibility of supporting terrorist actions in Ukraine.
