I think its very petty. And it will all just end in tears.
The west has neglected Russia for too long and has not included it in anything, no wonder they want to show what they are made of.
Its a different world and a different way of life over there and thats whats causing these problems. Parts of my family are Ukrainian and they are shocked at how oppulent our lives our and how relatively fair our law systems and government are.
(we ***** and moan but its liveable).
If the world could accept everyone on an equal footing and include everyone in all decisions instead of the US and UK going off and doing anything they want then wars and silly diplomatic spats would soon stop.
We risk alienating Russia and its 20000 nukes and possibly China and its industrial strength joining them. That seems very silly to me.
If politicians realised we are all the same, regardless of language, regardless of flags or uniforms, regardless of geographical location then humanity might just unite a little bit.
Then we could equalise the wealth, instead of a dozen mega rich countries and 100 poor ones.
We are ALL human, lets start acting like it.

The Russian Government has stated that the man accused will stand trial in their country. Given the choice and taking into account the rights of prisoners in both countries I suspect the accused would relish the opportunity to be tried in the UK.
The problem is that the British Government want the man. The Russian Government say no - so our lot spit the dummy out and stamp their feet like a 2 year old who can't have their own way.
The Russians' will retaliate - they won't speak to each for a couple of years - then they'll hug and make up. Seen it all before over the years. Like feckin kids in a playground. I just wish they'd grow up.

The issue has to be decided on evidence. If the trail of evidence leads to the person wanted in Russia then it must be pursued. A man was murdered, taking no action would condone murder.
If there is strong evidence that such serious crimes may have been commited by anyone cuurrently in the UK (and that they will receive a fair trial) the same rule must apply.

It is better than the situation we have negotiated with America where they can extradite UK citizens without prima facie evidence or indeed a crime commited on US soil (eg the NatWest Three) and we can't.
Well negotiated I thought ! What are they going to do for an encore of ineptitude ?
