UK-Russia diplomatic row worsens

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

As the below UK chart shows, the afflictions in the UK 12th house involving the nodes and Saturn (both natal and transit) along with the affliction of Rahu in the 6th house to L8 Mars in the 10th house, are creating problems of a diplomatic nature concerning Russia, involving the high profile assassination of Russian expartiates living in London by suspected former Russian KGB agents (spies) allegedly out of their sense of loyalty to President Putin, also a former KGB agent.

 

Best wishes,

 

Thor

UK-Russia diplomatic row worsens

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two British Council offices reopened despite an order to stay shutA diplomatic row between Russia and the UK has intensified after Britain reopened two regional cultural offices, defying a Moscow order to shut them. Russia accused Britain of "intentional provocation" and said it would refuse new visas to British Council staff. The UK ambassador, who was summoned by the Russian foreign ministry, said the offices will remain open. They were ordered to shut last month in a continuing dispute over ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko's death in London.

The offices that reopened after the holiday break are in St Petersburg and the Urals city of Yekaterinburg. The ban does not apply to the British Council's Moscow office. 'Serious disagreement' A statement on the Russian foreign ministry's website said: "Russia views such actions as an intentional provocation aimed at inflaming tensions in Russian-British relations.

Political punch-up

"The Russian side will not issue visas to new employees sent to work in the [british] consular offices of St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg to carry out British Council work." Emerging from his brief meeting in the Russian capital, British ambassador Sir Tony Brenton said he had told Vladimir Titov, the deputy foreign minister, a "serious disagreement" existed between the two countries. Mr Titov had handed him "a long piece of paper setting out the Russian legal view on the work of the British Council", he said. Escalating crisis The diplomat said he had replied that "the British Council is working entirely legally, that it will continue therefore to work, that any Russian action against it would be a breach of international law". He said he had told Mr Titov: "It's also the case that we have a huge number of other subjects where Russia and the UK need to work together and we need to be quite careful to prevent this situation infecting all the other pieces of business."

UK-Russia spy war

BBC Moscow correspondent Richard Galpin says Russia has clearly been angered by the British Council defiance. The escalating diplomatic crisis is now coming to a head and it is not clear if either side is willing to back down, he says. The British Council, which aims to promote cultural and educational ties, has been accused of violating Russian tax rules. Council chief executive Martin Davidson said it would continue talking to the Russians in the hope of continuing its "enormously valuable" work. He told the BBC: "We know ordinary Russian people believe it is of real value to them, as well of course to us here in the UK, to have that relationship with Russia." Opinion about the Council was divided on the streets of St Petersburg on Monday. Tatyana Mokhova said: "I think they should continue working, because such offices are needed to develop culture in society." But Sergey Ermoshkin said: "Any reasonable person understands that British intelligence is legally working under cover of such organisations." The row came on top of ongoing tensions over the death of former KGB officer Litvinenko in London in November 2006. He had been given a fatal dose of radioactive polonium 210. The UK wants Russia to hand over businessman Andrei Lugovoi, whom UK investigators suspect of murdering Mr Litvinenko. When Russia refused to extradite Mr Lugovoi, Britain expelled four Russian diplomats and Moscow followed suit. Russian officials have described the action against the British Council as a retaliatory measure.
