Since the start of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, European nations have expelled hundreds of Russian intelligence agents, cutting their capacity to spy in Europe “by half.”

Following the expulsion of more than 400 Russian intelligence officers from cities throughout Europe and the arrest of several deep-cover spies posing as civilians, Richard Moore, the head of Britain’s foreign intelligence service MI6, “Russia is losing steam in its invasion of Ukraine, and has lost its ability to spy in Europe “by half,” the channel quoted Moore as saying.

In addition to the expulsion of Russian “diplomats,” the head of MI6 stated that a number of “illegals,” or Russian spies operating under cover and disguising themselves as regular citizens, had also been exposed and detained recently.

Moore added that he thinks Russia’s influence in Ukraine may be “about to run out of steam.”

“In the next weeks, I believe our prediction is that the Russians will have a harder time providing manpower stuff. They will have to stop in some way, which will allow the Ukrainians a chance to retaliate, “added he.

“The morale of their [the Ukrainian defenders] is still high. They’re beginning to receive more and more effective weapons, “Moore stated.
