This one is easy: intimidation. "Look, we can kill anyone on your territory, even somebody you extended your protection to - a traitor to Mother Russia. And there is nothing you can do to meaningfully retaliate*. And if we can kill a former spy, protected by your alphabet agencies, we pretty much can do it to anyone, mkay? Keep this in mind and have a good rest of your day".
*) Did UK retaliate in any way? Nope.
The US is openly persecuting political dissidents.

Personally I’m not sure that he’s any worse than the assholes who run our country.
It was used as an excuse to place further sanctions on Russia.

Not a single meaningful sanction has been placed on Russia. Just some symbolic BS.

Why yes, yes it is persecution for political opinions when the people come to DC with political demands and get arrested for it.
We have political persecution in the US now.
