VLADIMIR Putin has drawn up a kill list with six of the targets living in the UK, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

Russian agents have been accused of attempting to kill former KGB officer turned defector Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia using the Novichok nerve agent in Salisbury in 2018.<\/p>\n
The murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London, using radioactive polonium 210, is also highly likely to have been ordered by the Kremlin.<\/p>\n
Now other Russians living in the UK - Vladimir Ashurkov, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Evgeny Chichvarkin and Boris Karpichkov are also on Putins hit list, the Mirror reports.<\/p>\n
Also being targeted are long-time Kremlin-foe Bill Browder, an American-born UK citizen, and Christopher Steele, a former MI6 officer.<\/p>\n
Steele was identified in 2017 as the author of the \"dirty dossier\" that claims Russia collated a file of compromising information on Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Ashurkov, 49, was forced to step down as an investment banker in Russia because of links to Kremlin-foe Alexei Navalny, whose Anti-Corruption foundation he now heads.<\/p>\n
Navalny was himself targeted with novichok and was jailed after returning from treatment in Germany, a move that sparked widespread demonstrations in Russia.<\/p>\n
Ashurkov, who was granted asylum in 2015, told the Mirror he hoped the UK authorities were working to thwart any assassination attempts.<\/p>\n
I have no doubt Russian security services are capable of executions anywhere in the world, he said.<\/p>\n
There are at least 10 unexplained deaths in the UK. I feel safer on the streets of London than in Moscow, but nothing can ensure total safety.<\/p>\n
Mikhail Khodorkovsky is a 57-year-old Siberian oil billionaire, now living in exile in London, who spent eight years in jail after being charged with fraud in 2003.<\/p>\n

Amnesty International declared him a prisoner of conscience and he was released from jail in 2014.<\/p>\n
If Putin wants to kill me no bodyguards will help. I am a well-known opponent of Putin, he said.<\/p>\n
Browder became a thorn in the side of the Putin after he tried to expose the \"looting\" of his investments in the country by corrupt officials.<\/p>\n
This needs to be taken very seriously, said Browder.<\/p>\n
\"Putin tried to kill Navalny with novichok and anyone on Putins hitlist, including me, must take precautions. Putin is not constrained by any moral or geographical boundaries.<\/p>\n

Boris Karpichkov, 62, is also a former spy who defected to Britain, arriving in 1998 with two suitcases of secrets with him.<\/p>\n
He survived two attempts to poison him when he was making a visit to New Zealand.<\/p>\n
He says Putin's targets - such as himself - are keen for their names to be public as it is the only way to stay alive.<\/p>\n
It makes it more difficult for Putin to deny responsibility if one of us is killed, he said.<\/p>\n
Billionaire Evgeny Chichvarkin, 46, made his fortune after founding the countrys largest mobile phone retailer and reportedly picked up Navalnys medical bills.<\/p>\n
He now runs Hedonism Wines in central London, which charges up to 120,000 a bottle, and the upmarket Mayfair private dining rooms Hide.<\/p>\n
Steele and Chichvarkin have not commented on the reported hit list.<\/p>\n

One of the six was sent details of Putins intentions by a sympathetic Russian intelligence officer.<\/p>\n
The same officer reportedly also warned Skripal was earmarked for assassination and has said Putin has stated: We have long arms. No scum can hide from us.<\/p>\n
The spook tells the target: They are out to shut you up completely. Take the precaution of quickly changing your place of residence, even if only temporarily.<\/p>\n
