Putin’s regime retaliated against Britain for seeking extradition of the former KGB agent Litvinenko’ murderer. Besides evicting four British diplomats – a move that mirrors the Britain’s – Russia suspended counterterrorism cooperation with Britain and vowed to stop issuing visas to British officials.
In June, Putin attempted to murder in Britain Litvinenko’s boss, Russian ex-oligarch ^[1] Boris Berezovsky.
The Russian KGB/FSB regime takes Litvinenko’s issue to heart because Litvinenko publicly proved that Putin organized explosions of several buildings in Russia to blame on Chechens and start the Chechen war.
