Rusia intenționa să-l asasineze pe Kasparov și pe alți disidenți în această vară, în SUA

Russian authorities have plotted to assassinate exiled chess champion Garry Kasparov and former deputy Ilia Ponomarev in the U.S. The U.S. government has placed Kasparov under special protection after confirming he is a target. Plans for Ponomarev's assassination were also revealed, with five conspirators linked to the Kremlin identified. This network, known as "RIS Network," has been active since 2024, targeting dissidents and planning attacks in Western countries. Kasparov has faced threats for over two decades, while Ponomarev has survived multiple assassination attempts. The U.S. prosecution has charged the conspirators with terrorism-related offenses, highlighting the Kremlin's escalating intimidation tactics against opposition figures.
