The FBI alert regarding the fact that Russian intelligence is planning targeted assassinations in the USA and in #EU countries that support Ukraine.
On September 15, 2026, federal authorities unsealed an indictment in a Manhattan federal court revealing that Russian intelligence services are actively plotting targeted assassinations and acts of terrorism in the United States and European nations that support Ukraine. [1]
The unsealed Manhattan federal court indictment details a multi-year conspiracy spearheaded by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB). Key findings from the federal investigation include: [1, 2]
Foiled US Plot: Russian agents recruited a Venezuelan citizen living in Brooklyn to surveil and assassinate a prominent Russian dissident believed to be living in Washington, D.C.. After executing the initial surveillance, the U.S. resident rejected a $40,000 offer to “eliminate” or “disappear” the target. [3, 4]
Expansion of Targets: Historically focused on Russian dissidents and defectors, the network expanded its focus following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine to target nations perceived as allies of Ukraine. [3, 5]
European Infrastructure Threats: Recruits within the network were additionally solicited to conduct acts of terrorism against civilian and military infrastructure across European Union countries aligned with Ukraine. [1, 5]
Charges Filed: Charges have been announced against five individuals associated with the network who currently remain at large, including Yuri Khrameev, Yaidel Delgado Suarez, and Angel Eduardo Castro. [1, 4]
Officials from the FBI’s New York and Washington, D.C. offices confirmed that a collaborative effort across multiple field offices successfully disrupted the network’s immediate violent intentions on U.S. soil. [1]
