US prosecutors charged five alleged Russian agents over global murder plots, while Denmark reported Russian sabotage targeting its defense sector.

United States federal prosecutors have unsealed an indictment charging five alleged Russian intelligence agents with managing a global network to assassinate and harass supporters of Ukraine across Europe and North America. According to American authorities, the suspects recruited operatives to conduct surveillance and execute attacks ordered by the Kremlin, including a June 2024 operation in Prague. All five accused individuals currently remain at large.

Meanwhile, Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service revealed that Russia has executed sabotage operations against Danish defense companies providing equipment to Ukraine. Officials presented the findings at a Copenhagen security conference, identifying the acts as a significant escalation in Moscow's hybrid warfare strategy.
