Russian national that just got outed publicly in the press. Pretty sure this is just the governmental way of putting a hit out on someone without actually saying the words. This guy is not going to live long.

How does a government hit benefit them?

Not a government hit, but anyone looking for revenge. The government just outed them in a polite way without saying explicitly "Hey, anyone who wants revenge, here's the guy..."

It's a way of using the "proper channels" or whatever to expose someone to a hit.
