<p>Russia&#8217;s secret services have abandoned the Soviet-era practice of killing traitors, Vladimir Putin has insisted.</p>
<p>Asked in a live phone-in session on state TV and radio if he had ever ordered special services to kill traitors, the Russian PM said that such practices ended with the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>He also said that the &#8220;animal&#8221; who betrayed the 10 Russian sleeper spies who were arrested in the United States this summer will not live happily.</p>
<p>Mr Putin has met and sang patriotic songs with the 10 agents who returned home after a spy swap shortly after their arrest, and he again praised them during the phone-in.</p>
<p>He referred to a Russian intelligence officer suspected of betraying them as a &#8220;swine&#8221;.</p>
<p>Britain has been seeking the extradition of Andrei Lugovoi over the murder of dissident ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. Mr Litvinenko was poisoned with radioactive polonium.</p>
<p>British officials have claimed the murder was carried out with the backing of the Russian state.</p>
