NewzAn indictment unsealed on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court revealed that the FBI successfully shut down a Russian intelligence plot targeting U.S. individuals and supporters of Ukraine. Federal authorities announced charges against five people in connection with the scheme, which involved paying individuals in the United States and other countries to conduct surveillance on targets intended for assassination.
According to federal officials, the Russian Federation's intelligence services have been orchestrating efforts to carry out targeted killings within the United States as well as in European nations that support Ukraine. The disruption of the plot highlights ongoing cross-border security operations by U.S. law enforcement against foreign intelligence activities on American soil.
