Britain's Union Flag, flag flutters in front of the British Embassy, partially seen at right, while in the background stands Moscow's Ukraine Hotel, Tuesday, July 17, 2007. Russia vowed to respond to Britain's decision to expel four diplomats Monday in a dispute over the case of a former KGB agent fatally poisoned in London, and warned the move could badly damage ties between the nations. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband announced the decision to expel four Russian diplomats and place restrictions on visas issued to Russian government officials over Moscow's refusal to extradite Andrei Lugovoi, the key suspect in the killing of Alexander Litvinenko last year.
