US prosecutors announced charges against five people accused of working on behalf of Russian intelligence services to carry out attacks and murders. Details of the alleged plots were outlined in court filings unsealed as part of the case. The charges add to a series of recent actions targeting alleged Russian covert operations abroad. The FBI said the five men conspired to intimidate, threaten or murder individuals both inside the United States and internationally, specifically targeting people who have supported Ukraine, according to US officials. The case underscores growing US concern over Russian efforts to strike at Ukraine's allies overseas amid the ongoing war.
