The two suspects in the Salisbury nerve agent attack will be caught and prosecuted if they ever step out of Russia, the home secretary has warned.
Sajid Javid, however, did acknowledge "the reality is we will probably never see them in the UK".
He told the BBC the pair, thought to be from Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU, were acting on orders from the "highest level" in Moscow.
Ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in March.
The suspects are understood to have travelled to the UK from Moscow on 2 March on Russian passports, under the aliases Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov.
Two days later, police say they sprayed the nerve agent, Novichok, on the front door of Mr Skripal's home in the Wiltshire city of Salisbury, before travelling home to Russia later that day.
Leave Russia and we'll get you, pair told
GRU tries to hide behind a gay - version LOL
"FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE Salisbury Novichok ’assassins’ may be LOVERS who were on a trip to the UK during Skripal poisoning, Russian media claims"
Speculation over the nature of their relationship began when they were asked by Russian state TV station RT: "On the (CCTV) video you are shown always together. You were together, lived together, walked everywhere together. What does in fact connect you?”
Boshirov replied: "Let's not pry into our private lives.”
Interviewer 38 year old Margarita Simonyan - who is head of the Kremlin “propaganda” channel later said: “I do not know if they are gays or not.
“They are quite fashionable - with little beards, hair cuts, tight pants, sweaters tight over big biceps.
Bizarre claims about the alleged assassins today arose in Russia that the pair were actually in a relationship
“They did not harass me. Anyway I'm already out of the harassable age."
“Still, I poured them cognac for courage.
“During the interview I told them that the world least of all worries with the question if they slept in one bed or not."
The pair suggested they were ordinary tourists wanting to see - among other sights - Salisbury cathedral and Stonehenge.
They spoke with the Kremlin's propaganda-machine Russia Today on Wednesday in yet another attempt by Vladimir Putin's regime to obscure the narrative surrounding the incident."
