Russian Hit Squad Suspected in Poisoning of US Kremlin Critics

The head of the Free Russia Foundation, Natalia Arno, suspects she was poisoned with a nerve agent during a recent trip to Europe, while at least two other Kremlin critics have reportedly been targeted in suspected poisoning attacks since 2020. Russia has a history of conducting poisoning operations targeting its critics, including the 2018 attack on Sergei Skripal and the 2020 poisoning of Alexei Navalny. Arno warns that Russian critics need to be on alert for intimidation and repression operations, including threats and poisonings.
