London has expelled four Russian diplomats in protest over Moscow's refusal to extradite a former KGB agent to stand trial over the murder.
In response, Russia has warned of serious consequences and that is expected to include tit-for-tat expulsions of British diplomats.
It is nearly nine months since Litvinenko, a former Russian agent living in exile in the UK, died a horrifying and lingering death after he was poisoned by the highly radioactive isotope, polonium 210, which is used as a trigger in nuclear weapons.

Traces of the lethal isotope were found on the restaurant dishes used when the 4 met at the cafe where the perpetrators dosed him.
They also contaminated the plane they flew to London in.
Putin is complicit.
The isotope is only made in Russia.
It was a sloppy operation.
