UN may move Ukraine aid supplies underground after Russian attacks
The United Nations is considering storing humanitarian supplies in underground facilities after Russian strikes destroyed 10 of the organization’s warehouses in Ukraine this year, Matthias Schmale, the UN humanitarian coordinator in Ukraine, told Reuters on Sept. 15.
The U.S. Justice Department has charged five individuals accused of involvement in a Russian intelligence network allegedly plotting assassinations and terrorist acts against countries supporting Ukraine. The network has been active since at least 2024, with recent attempts to recruit U.S. citizens to surveil and kill Russian dissidents, prosecutors stated.
Three of the defendants are high-ranking members of the Russian intelligence network, including Yuri Khrameev, a former Russian intelligence colonel, and his son Kirill Khrameev, a Russian Federal Security Service officer. The other two suspects are Yaidel Delgado Suarez and Angel Eduardo Castro, U.S.-based recruiters for the Russian spy network.
One case involved Suarez and Castro recruiting a U.S.-based individual to surveil a Russian dissident in 2024, with offers ranging from $1,000 to $40,000. The Khrameevs also attempted to recruit a U.S. citizen to kill someone in Lithuania accused of "telling lies about Russia." Durruthy allegedly coordinated attacks in Czechia and Lithuania in 2024.
The charges include conspiracy to finance terrorism and murder-for-hire, with maximum sentences of 20 and 10 years, respectively. All five suspects are at large.
