Russian Network Plots Assassination of Kaspárov in US; Ex-Colonel Linked to Putin

A Russian network, reportedly composed of Cubans and Venezuelans, planned to assassinate Garry Kaspárov on US soil, acting under orders from a former colonel linked to Vladimir Putin. The same network allegedly attempted to kill a former deputy opposed to the invasion of Ukraine. The claim is sourced from 14ymedio and remains unverified; if confirmed, it signals a significant escalation in Russian covert operations targeting dissidents abroad.

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.
