MOSCOW (Sputnik) Judge Sir Robert Owen, the chairman of the inquiry, concluded his report on the Litvinenko case at the end of 2015. On January 21 the judge will hand his report over to the British parliament.

"This investigation is being carried out in the United Kingdom, and in this case it is not a topic of interest for us and it is not on our agenda," Peskov told reporters.

The spokesman noted that Moscow would study the report as soon as it was published.

Litvinenko fled from Russia to Britain in 2000. He died in 2006, three weeks after drinking tea with his former colleagues Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoi in central London.

Following his death, UK authorities claimed that Litvinenko's former colleagues had poisoned him with the radioactive isotope polonium-210. A public inquiry into Litvinenko's death was formally established by the UK government in July 2014.
