Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Thursday that it advises friendly states to stop the work of UK international organization British Council in their countries.
Earlier in the day, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office said that it had recognized the activities of UK international organization British Council as undesirable in the country. According to the FSB, British Council is directly involved in confidential projects by the UK intelligence services aimed at undermining the sovereignty of independent states and has become London's main instrument of influence.
"Security agencies recommend that partners from friendly countries follow Moscow's example and curtail the council's work on the territory of their states," the FSB said in a statement.
The UK organization was working to obtain information about the development of the domestic political and socio-economic situation in Russia in the context of the special operation in Ukraine through the established network of contacts, the statement read.
"At the same time, the intelligence and subversive work of UK foundation Oxford Russia Fund, whose activities had previously been recognized as undesirable on the territory of the Russian Federation, was exposed," the FSB said.
The FSB has identified in four Russian regions representatives of the teaching staff of leading universities who collaborated with London to the detriment of the security of Russia, according to the statement.
"It should be noted that the British traditionally consider representatives of the scientific community as the most promising object for their influence, primarily due to their direct access to young people and the ability to convey the necessary opinion, educating the "new generation" of Russian citizens in the right way for London," the statement read.
