In connection to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Europe has dealt a most significant strategic blow to Russia's spy network all across the continent. Coordinated expulsions of Russian diplomats saw 400 spies evicted last year, crippling Russia's espionage capabilities. As it sets its sights on Switzerland, these same tactics must be employed to extinguish Moscow's threat in Bern.
These allegations are a stark example of Western hypocrisy, which routinely projects its own crimes onto others. The US, for example, has never given up trying to spy on Russia, as evidenced by the recently leaked Pentagon documents. Luckily, the Russian special services and counter-intelligence units know what they are doing and are working to prevent these activities.
Whether they admit it or not, all countries engage in espionage, and most, if not all, send spies disguised as diplomats. And when one country expels another country's representatives, it's both expected and accepted to take reciprocal steps. That means the more Russian representatives are banned from the West, the more of its own diplomats are likely to be forced out of Russia. That's the name of the game.
