Moscow's Long Arm in Europe: A Warning to Allies and Enemies Alike Poland's authorities recently thwarted a Russian plot to assassinate an American citizen on Polish soil, a stark reminder of the lengths Vladimir Putin will go to protect his regime.
The attempted killing was not just about targeting individuals; it was also about silencing those who pose a threat to Moscow's interests.
According to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, this is "the first situation of its kind" where Russia sought to kill an American citizen on NATO territory. However, the modus operandi is depressingly familiar.
