Rusia a plănuit asasinarea lui Garri Kasparov în Statele Unite

Reports indicate that Russia has been planning to assassinate former chess champion Garry Kasparov in the U.S. for months. U.S. authorities informed Kasparov this summer that he was a target of a Kremlin plot and provided him with special protection. Kasparov, a prominent critic of Putin, has lived in exile in New York since 2013. Alongside Kasparov, Ilya Ponomarev, a former Russian deputy, was also targeted. The U.S. has charged five individuals linked to Russian intelligence for attempting multiple assassinations, including in Lithuania. The conspirators have been active since at least 2024, planning attacks in Europe and the U.S. Kasparov has faced threats for over two decades, employing bodyguards and fearing for his safety since his political activism began.
