Widow Litvinenko: take tougher measures

london - The British reaction to the nerve gas attack on former double spy Sergej Skripal and his daughter Yulia is not far enough. That said the widow of the 2006 Aleksandr Litvinenko poisoned in England, an ex-officer of the Russian security service FSB.

Marina Litvinenko responded in an interview with the Reuters news agency about the measures taken by the British government because of the nerve gas affair. The British media quickly drew comparisons between the fate of Skripal and that of her husband, who died after a lethal dose of polonium was administered to him.

' I think more needs to be done. It is not enough '', said the widow, who acknowledged that the British government had acted more forcefully than after the death of her husband. Also then the British pointed to Moscow with an accusing finger, which denied involvement. London decided at the time to expel four diplomats. This time 23 Russian diplomats have to leave the country.

Litvinenko stated that it is pointless to play 'according to the same rules as Putin. Because you never win ''. ' But you also do not have to show that you are soft and accept everything that takes place in your country. Even after what happened to my husband. '' She is calling for targeted sanctions against Russian officials and measures, which Putin may not expect '.
