Russia withdrew its ambassador from the United Kingdom and accused London of choosing a "path of confrontation" for its support of Ukraine.

The Russian government has recalled its ambassador to the United Kingdom, Andrei Kelin, following his seven-year tenure in the position. The move is intended to exert diplomatic pressure on the British government to reconsider its ongoing support for Ukraine in the current conflict.

This decision, reported by The Sunday Times, marks a significant shift in diplomatic relations between Moscow and London. The withdrawal serves as a strategic signal from Russia regarding its stance on the United Kingdom's involvement in the war.
