MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia accused two British diplomats of spying on Monday and gave them two weeks to leave the country, maintaining the downward trajectory of diplomatic relations with Europe even as it negotiates to restore ties with the United States.

There was no immediate response to a request for comment from the British embassy, which has in the past rejected similar allegations against British diplomats in Moscow.
