US, Lithuania Warn Kasparov, Ponomarev of Russian Assassination Plots

Spanish outlet El Mundo reports that US and Lithuanian authorities warned Garry Kasparov, Ilya Ponomarev, and Ivan Tyutrin of planned assassination attempts by a Russian special services network uncovered in mid-September. Other potential targets include Vladimir Kara-Murza and a Bashkir activist. The claims are sourced to unnamed officials and are not independently corroborated, but if true, they signal an escalation in Russian covert operations against exiled opposition figures.

Russian Assassination Plots Against Dissidents in US Alleged

Multiple sources allege a Russian intelligence-linked network planned to assassinate opposition figures Garry Kasparov and Ilya Ponomarev on US soil. While US and Lithuanian authorities reportedly warned targets, the claims remain largely uncorroborated by independent official sources, leading to low confidence in the specifics of the plot but medium-low confidence in the existence of a threat.
