Western diplomats tell BBC about surveillance and 'constant paranoia' in wartime Moscow
Former ambassadors of the US, France and other Western countries described to the BBC the working conditions in Moscow after 2022: constant FSB surveillance, attempts to recruit local staff, intimidation of embassy guests and everyday difficulties caused by sanctions. Diplomats compare the pressure to the Cold War era, but believe their work remains important amid almost non-existent interstate contacts.
