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 Network Allegedly Plots Assassinations of Dissidents in US

Multiple sources claim a Russian intelligence-linked network planned to assassinate opposition figures Garry Kasparov and Ilya Ponomarev on US soil, with US and Lithuanian authorities reportedly warning targets. These claims, primarily from Spanish investigative reporting, remain largely uncorroborated by official statements, leading to low confidence in their confirmation.
