The FBI says it has thwarted a plot to assassinate a prominent Russian dissident believed to be living in Washington, D.C. The report says the disclosure comes from an announcement made by the FBI on Tuesday and involves alleged efforts connected to Russia.
The outlet describes the wider allegation as part of a broader set of claims that Russia is plotting assassinations in the United States and in European countries that support Ukraine. While the specific target and the dissident’s identity are presented as a key element, the account focuses more on linking the plot to Russian state involvement and on the geopolitical context of countries backing Ukraine.
Across the available reporting here, the common thread is the FBI’s intervention to stop an assassination attempt and the attribution of the threat to Russia, framed within a larger pattern of alleged violence aimed at dissidents and countries involved in support for Ukraine.
