Sudplatov performed special missions at the behest of the USSR leadership and espionage activities in Europe and the United States, and described his “exploits” in his 1994 book Special Missions.
Lugovoi said that US and British intelligence had provided “security guarantees” to Zelensky and his entourage. “I’m sure there are hidden houses camouflaged somewhere in California or elsewhere,” he threatened, but “wherever any of them plan to spend the rest of their lives, I don’t think they’ll be out of luck.”
A British investigation in 2016 concluded that Litvinenko’s assassination “was likely sanctioned” by then-FSB chief – successor to the KGB – Nikolai Patrushev and Vladimir Putin. In September 2021, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia was responsible for the murder, which Lugovoi and Kovtun were hiding behind, but Moscow rejected their extradition request. A few days ago, Litvinenko’s widow, Marini, said her husband had warned her that Putin was capable of unleashing a war that would kill millions of people. “And it’s happening now,” he told the British newspaper Metro.
