Russia arrests ‘spy’ at British embassy over ‘Ukrainian terror plot against UK’ Footage shows a security officer at the British Embassy in Moscow being thrown to the ground by masked and armed officers Vladimir Putin's FSB security service has detained a security officer who they claim to be a "Ukrainian spy" working for the British Embassy in Moscow. Footage shows the 45-year-old, who is a Russian citizen employed as a security officer at the British ambassador's official residence, being thrown facedown on the ground by masked and armed plain-clothed FSB officers in Moscow. The intelligence agency alleged a outlandish plot to stage potentially deadly “acts of sabotage and terrorism” against Ambassador Nigel Casey and other members of the UK’s diplomatic mission.
