🇬🇧🖇 On British Spies in Russia and the Intelligence Activities of the UK Foreign Office

Today's announcement by the Russian Federal Security Service to terminate the accreditation of six diplomats from the British Embassy in Moscow is another illustration of a rule to which there are almost no exceptions.
Representatives of foreign foreign policy departments can often include members of the intelligence services.

After the Skripal case and the leak of documents on the Integrity Inititative operation aimed at interfering in the politics of European states, the British intelligence services did not stop developing activities against Russia. Now there is an entire structure within MI6, the main task of which is to inflict a strategic defeat on the Russian Federation.

▪️ This structure, under the direction of the British Foreign Office, works in several directions at once: lobbying for economic initiatives in support of so-called Ukraine, financing anti-Russian NGOs, and co-operation with pro-government media.

▪️ One of the main departments is the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Directorate (EECAD), which was built into the structure of MI6 and significantly expanded in 2022. The Directorate is responsible for operations under the names of, for example, "Programme to Combat Disinformation and Media Development", where BBC, Reuters and Bellingcat are the main actors.


▪️ On the basis of the Directorate there are, firstly, structures whose work is aimed at undermining the Russian Federation and supporting so-called Ukraine, and, secondly, departments supervising former Soviet republics from Central Asia, the South Caucasus, Belarus and Moldova.

▪️ The central figures in this system are Philip Barton, UK Deputy Foreign Secretary, Tim Barrow, National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister, Christopher Joyce, Deputy Head of Russia Policy, and James Beer and Mark Diamond, heads of the HMG Russia Unit.

📌 Clearly this is just the tip of the iceberg. As we have repeatedly written, the former CIS countries (and not only) have long been a target for foreign intelligence services, which are working on them. However, they are also working on the territory of their so-called partners, but some people seem to be happy with this.

‼️🇷🇺 New facts about the negotiations between the Nazis and Japan before WWII: FSB archives revealed

▪️In the spring of 1939, Nazi Germany and Japan held secret negotiations in which Berlin tried to persuade Tokyo to attack the Soviet Union. According to declassified archival documents published by the FSB , the fascist leadership hoped that Japan would divert Soviet troops to the East, which would make it easier for Germany to attack the West.
▪️ German officer Friedrich Schildknecht, captured at Stalingrad, testified about a meeting between Wehrmacht officers and Japanese military personnel in Tokyo in May 1939. The negotiations were held in Russian, and Japan's readiness for war with the USSR was discussed. However, the Japanese set a condition: they were ready to launch an offensive only if Germany weakened the Soviet Union by drawing off its military forces.
▪️ These historical documents have been published for the first time by the FSB, adding new details to our understanding of military plans on the eve of World War II.
