💨 Abstract

Russian police have launched a criminal investigation into an alleged assault on a freelance journalist by an employee of the British embassy at Moscow's Vnukovo airport. The journalist claimed physical and moral injury during an attempted interview of British diplomats. The British embassy has reportedly ignored a police request for identification and diplomatic status of the suspected offender. This incident comes amidst deteriorating relations between Britain and Russia, with both nations expelling diplomats in recent months.
