Awake Goy A video provided by the Ruptly news agency shows several vehicles leaving the territory of the diplomatic mission on Tuesday. Earlier, minibuses were captured on camera entering the compound.
Last week, London ordered 23 Russian diplomats to leave the UK by March 20. According to the country’s envoy, Alexander Yakovenko, the family members of the expelled staffers are also being forced to leave Britain.
In retaliation, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Saturday saying that 23 employees of the British embassy in Moscow have been declared personae non grata.
Last week, British Prime Minister Theresa May demanded that Moscow reveal the details of the alleged Skripal plot or face consequences. London claims that the former double spy was poisoned with a “Russian-made” nerve agent A-234 (dubbed ‘Novichok’).
Moscow brushed off the ultimatum, saying it was ready to offer help in the case, but would not tolerate “groundless” accusations and ultimatums. London subsequently announced that it would expel 23 Russian diplomats, as well as threatening to partially seize official contacts and freeze state assets in the UK.
On Monday, the European Council issued a statement backing the UK in its view that it is highly likely that the Russian Federation was responsible for the March 4 incident with Skripal and his daughter. The Council said it was “shocked” by the poisoning and urged Moscow to urgently address the issue.
Moscow described the European Union’s judgment on the Sergei Skripal incident as “hasty, speculative, and evidence-free,” noting that has no stocks of Novichok.
