The British authorities expressed concern that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service would deploy in Britain a new spy network, instead of the destroyed espionage network of the GRU General Staff of the Russian Federation. At the same time in London they say that the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation act more professionally and dangerously. According to British intelligence, the SVR "received a task from the Kremlin" to resume intelligence operations in Britain and "return intelligence positions lost in neutralizing the espionage network of the GRU General Staff of the Russian Federation."
According to a high-ranking publication source in the British government, London has almost no information about the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, and the existing ones give reason to believe that this is a more professional organization that can be much more troubling than the GRU, and this is causing concern.
Meanwhile, according to another source, British intelligence managed to completely destroy the espionage network created by the GRU in Britain, sending Russian diplomats who "were all agents of the GRU and SVR", so the restoration of the espionage network will take years.
