Kasparov claims US, Lithuania warned of Russian plot to kill him
Garry Kasparov alleges that US and Lithuanian authorities warned him of an active Russian assassination plot against him. This follows recent US statements about Russian agent networks planning murders on US soil, which Moscow dismissed as baseless. The claim is unverified and likely part of an ongoing pattern of Russian operations against dissidents abroad.

Russian Assassination Plots Against Dissidents in US Escalating
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.
