Report: Russian agents in US plotted to kill Kasparov, ex-Duma deputy

Spanish outlet El Mundo reports that Russian operatives from an exposed US network planned assassinations of Garry Kasparov and former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev. The claim is sourced to a single media report, unverified by official channels, and follows a pattern of alleged Russian covert operations against dissidents abroad. If confirmed, it signals an escalation in Russian intelligence activity on US soil.

Russian Assassination Plots Against Dissidents in US and Abroad Escalating

Multiple sources claim Russian intelligence-linked networks are actively plotting assassinations of prominent opposition figures, including Garry Kasparov and Ilya Ponomarev, on US soil. While specific details remain largely unconfirmed by official channels, warnings issued by US and Lithuanian authorities to these individuals lend medium confidence to the existence of such plots. The alleged involvement of a former colonel linked to Putin and the reported $40,000 bounties suggest a significant escalation in Russian covert lethal operations against exiled dissidents.
