Claim 1: “Andrei Kelin's diplomatic mission as Russian Ambassador to the United Kingdom [has concluded]”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources confirm that Andrei Kelin has left his post. The Times reports the Kremlin withdrew him, and another web search result explicitly states Russia has left the embassy in London without an ambassador. Additionally, the Wikipedia entry for Andrey Kelin lists his term as Ambassador to the UK as ending (noting a range from 2019 to 2026, though the news reports indicate he has already left).
