The US Department of Justice has charged five alleged members of a network linked to Russian intelligence services, which is said to have recruited people in the US to carry out surveillance and commit murders.
According to the indictment, this network recruited a Venezuelan citizen living in the US last summer to surveil a well-known Russian dissident in the Washington area. He was offered $1,000 to $1,500 for surveillance and $40,000 for murder. When the recruit refused to carry out the murder himself, the alleged recruiters asked whether he knew anyone who could do it.
The indictment also alleges that the network had earlier offered a US citizen $25,000 to murder another Russian dissident in Lithuania, and that plans were discussed for attacks on power substations, warehouses, fuel storage facilities, and other infrastructure sites in NATO countries supporting Ukraine.
The five defendants include a former colonel of Russian intelligence, an alleged FSB officer, and individuals residing in Russia. All of them remain at large.
The charges are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

⚡🇷🇺🇺🇦 According to OSINT data, production of Gerans 4 and 5s have accelerated and are now entering service in large quantities (at least 2,000 drones a month are produced according to Ukrainian intelligence.)
Gerans 4s and 5s are much better improved models than the previous generations, they fly higher, faster, and carry more explosive loads.
They're equipped with jet engines and fly higher than the range of most engagement attitudes of MANPAD crews, Iranian technology transfers between Iran and Russia continues unimpeded.
The Alabuga Industrial Zone continues to be expanded with five new workshops being built to accommodate the production quotas, it might soon become a military target due to its importance.

According to the newspaper, Washington wants to show Moscow the seriousness of its intentions to restart relations and create additional incentives for the Russian elite to end the war. The specific deals being considered are currently unknown.
This approach differs from Trump's previous position, who stated that deals with Russia were only possible after the end of the war, the NYT notes.
The newspaper claims that during a recent meeting in the Kremlin, Putin told Witcoff and Kushner that Russia would seize all of Donbas within a few months and would be able to inflict heavy blows on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Kushner responded by reminding Putin that he had said the same thing a year ago: "What are the chances that we'll come back here in a year and you'll say the same thing again? Maybe we shouldn't waste a year?"
The publication also reminds readers that Congress has passed a bill on "hellish" sanctions against Russia.
"But if the Trump administration is taking a carrot-and-stick approach to Putin, it appears that the emphasis is on the carrot," the article states.
