在日益升温的紧张形势下 布莱尔与普京在G8峰会会面
Blair meets Putin at G8 amid simmering tensions

翻译原文：

HEILIGENDAMM (AFP) - Prime Minister Tony Blair has met Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G8 summit Friday, with relations between the two countries at a post-Soviet low. Tensions between London and Moscow have surged in recent months, notably over the radiation poisoning death of former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko, whose associates accuse the Kremlin of being behind his murder. Blair went into the G8 summit in Heiligendamm stating that he would have a "frank" discussion with Putin, whose cause he championed before he became Russian leader. But Blairs official spokesman told reporters Friday: "This isnt going to be a lecture. Its not going to be a stand-up row. "Its going to be a conversation but the prime minister will be honest in this conversation about the choices Russia faces." The Litvinenko case dominated the run-up to the summit, after Russia refused to accede to Britains request to extradite the chief suspect in the case, businessman Andrei Lugovoi.
