Scientist Igor Sutyagin, who was one of the four Russians exchanged Friday for the ten people the United States accused of spying for Russia, is near London, Sutyagin's friend told RIA Novosti.
"I am now in a small provincial British town. I have a Russian passport but no British entry visa," Sutyagin was quoted as telling his friend on the phone.
"They promised that on Monday I will meet with officials who will decide on the issue of granting me the visa and on my further stay in Britain," he said.
