Moscow wants the true cause of the death of Russian citizen Alexander Litvinenko in the United Kingdom to be established as soon as possible, Russian Ambassador to London Alexander Yakovenko told Interfax.
"The sooner the truth is established there [in the UK] finally, the better it is for both of our countries. The Russian side wanted it from the very beginning, especially since it was a Russian citizen's death on UK territory," he said ahead of talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and UK Foreign Secretary William Hague in Moscow on May 28.
