US accuses Russia of trying to kill Ukrainian allies overseas

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has accused Russia of plotting to murder Ukrainian allies in the US and Europe. In a statement on Tuesday, the DoJ charged five men allegedly connected to the Russian Intelligence Services (RIS). The men are accused of paying, or trying to pay, people in the US and overseas to target those aligned, or perceived to be aligned, with Ukraine. It is our job to stop America's adversaries from unleashing violence and terror on American soil, Attorney General Todd Blanche. All those accused remain at large.
