Russian plot to kill opposition figures in US reported by El Mundo

Multiple reports, primarily from Spanish outlet El Mundo and corroborated by other investigative media, claim a Russian intelligence-linked network planned to assassinate opposition figures Garry Kasparov and Ilya Ponomarev on US soil, among others. US and Lithuanian authorities reportedly warned targets, and US authorities provided security to Kasparov. The claims remain largely unconfirmed by official sources, but if true, they indicate a significant escalation of Russian covert lethal operations targeting dissidents abroad, including on US territory.
