According to the Justice Department, five people accused of working for Russian intelligence were charged as part of a network that allegedly plotted assassinations and terrorist acts in countries supporting Ukraine.\n\nThe network, which has operated since at least 2024, allegedly attempted to recruit multiple people in the US to surveil and kill Russian dissidents. The defendants allegedly paid or attempted to pay people in the US and elsewhere to conduct surveillance, carry out targeted killings, and attack civilian and military infrastructure in European countries aligned with Ukraine.\n\nThe charged individuals include Yuri Khrameev, a former Russian intelligence colonel, and Kirill Khrameev, a Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) officer and Yuri's son, as well as Oemis Romagoza Durruthy, a Cuban national living in Russia, and US-based recruiters Yaidel Delgado Suarez and Angel Eduardo Castro, as per the Kyiv Independent.",
