Russia’s intelligence services are plotting to carry out
targeted killings in the United States and in European nations supporting Ukraine,
federal authorities said Tuesday as they announced charges against five people who remain at large.

An indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court said a network of the intelligence services had
paid and attempted to pay individuals in the United States and in other countries
to surveil targets to be killed with plans to then kill them.

The associates recruited in the network also had been solicited to carry out acts of terrorism against civilian and military infrastructure in European countries that were perceived to be aligned with Ukraine, the indictment said.
