Officials from NATO have reportedly decided to slash the size of the permanent Russian delegation working to build ties with the US-led military bloc at its headquarters in Brussels, revoking the credentials of eight envoys.
Writing on Twitter on Wednesday, Sky News security editor Deborah Haynes wrote that "NATO has decided to halve the size of Russia's mission to the alliance."
According to Haynes, the move is "in response to suspected malign Russian activities, including killings & espionage."
Haynes went on to say that
eight diplomats "thought to be undeclared intelligence officers" will be told to pack their bags, and two other positions will be scrapped.
NATO has since confirmed to RIA Novosti that eight diplomats will be sent home, slashing the size of the delegation to ten representatives. Officials add that the bloc remains open to a "meaningful dialogue" with Russia.
Comment: Unsurprisingly these allegations aren't presented with any supporting facts. That's because it's likely that there aren't any - at least none that wouldn't also apply to Western diplomats. Since Russia has made it clear that it doesn't take too kindly to the
breaching of diplomatic protocol, and particularly because in this instance these are serious criminal accusations, it's likely that there will be an interesting response from Moscow.
It's notable that such allegations would appear as the situation on the globe heats up with protests raging against vaccine mandates, lockdowns, with whistleblowers and undercover investigations revealing these crimes against humanity by governments and industry, in addition to the looming shortages of all kinds - including energy, products and food - that threaten to throw the lives of billions into unimaginable turmoil:
