US charges alleged Russian agents over foreign assassination plots
US prosecutors have charged five alleged Russian intelligence operatives with plotting assassinations and sabotage against supporters of Ukraine in Europe and America.
American authorities have unsealed charges against five alleged operatives linked to Russian intelligence, accusing them of directing covert assassination plots and sabotage campaigns across Europe and the United States. According to the indictment filed in Manhattan, the network recruited individuals globally to track and target prominent supporters of Ukraine, including orchestrating an attack in Prague in June 2024. All five suspects currently remain at large.
Concurrently, Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service revealed that Moscow has conducted direct sabotage against Danish defense contractors providing military hardware to Kyiv. Danish officials described the operations as an aggressive expansion of Kremlin hybrid warfare designed to undermine European support for Ukraine.
