US indicts five Russian operatives over plots targeting Ukraine allies
US prosecutors charged five alleged Russian intelligence operatives over plots targeting Ukraine supporters across Europe and the US.
United States federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging five alleged Russian intelligence operatives with orchestrating sabotage and assassination plots across Europe and the US. The suspects, who remain at large, allegedly recruited a global network to surveil and attack individuals and entities supporting Ukraine. Court documents detail a Kremlin-backed campaign that included a June 2024 attack in Prague.
Concurrently, Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service reported that Russian-backed entities conducted targeted physical sabotage against Danish defense manufacturers delivering equipment to Kyiv. Danish authorities described the incidents as an escalation in hybrid tactics designed to disrupt Western military assistance.
