US indicts five alleged Russian agents over assassination and sabotage plots in Europe and America
US prosecutors have charged five alleged Russian agents over covert assassination and sabotage operations against Ukrainian allies in Europe and the United States.
United States federal prosecutors have unsealed an indictment charging five alleged Russian intelligence operatives for managing a global network intended to execute targeted assassinations and sabotage against supporters of Ukraine across North America and Europe.
According to the Department of Justice, the network recruited individuals internationally to track and attack perceived allies of Kyiv, including an operational incident in Prague in June 2024. All five suspects currently remain at large.
Concurrently, Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service reported at a Copenhagen conference that Russian hybrid operations have intensified, citing physical sabotage aimed directly at Danish defense contractors providing military hardware to Ukraine.
