The U.S. Department of Justice has accused Russia of orchestrating plots to assassinate individuals supportive of Ukraine in both the United States and Europe. Authorities allege these plots also targeted a prominent dissident residing in Washington.
In connection with these alleged schemes, U.S. officials have charged five individuals. These charges are linked to what authorities describe as a Russian-backed assassination network.
The FBI is reportedly involved in the investigation into these alleged murder plots. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
