According to a report in the newspaper El Mundo, Russian opposition figures have reportedly been targeted by a network linked to Russian intelligence services (the RIS Network), which was planning to assassinate dissidents in the United States.

Based on this, among the dissidents targeted by the network were former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomaryov, and Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza.
Earlier in September, the FBI and other US agencies announced the discovery of a Russian Intelligence Service (RIS) network that they said included 63-year-old former FSB colonel Yuri Khrameyev, also known as “Colonel Yuri,” the 27-year-old son of Kirill Khrameyev, an officer of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), 35-year-old Cuban citizen Oemis Romagosa Durruti who lives in Russia, 35-year-old Cuban citizen Yaidel Delgado Suarez, also known as “Viking,” and 22-year-old Venezuelan citizen Angel Eduardo Castro, who participated with Suarez in recruiting individuals residing in the US for the purpose of surveillance and attempted assassination of a prominent Russian dissident residing in the US, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.

According to the US Department of Justice, the men in question recruited paid individuals to monitor and ultimately kill two people in the US and one in Lithuania.

The Kremlin and the Russian embassy in Washington have not commented on the US allegations, although Moscow has previously denied carrying out targeted killings abroad.
