Kremlin critic says US, Lithuania warned him of assassination plot

Multiple reports, primarily from Spanish media citing investigative sources, allege Russian intelligence-linked networks are plotting to assassinate opposition figures Garry Kasparov and Ilya Ponomarev on US soil. While specific details remain largely uncorroborated by official channels, Kasparov has confirmed warnings from US and Lithuanian security services regarding threats to his life. This indicates a heightened and potentially expanding Russian covert operation targeting dissidents abroad, with direct implications for US-Russia relations.
