Russia says it foiled assassination attempts on top media figures

Al Jazeera  

A Moscow court issued criminal charges against seven people in connection with alleged plot to kill two prominent journalists. A Moscow court has issued criminal charges against seven people in connection with a plot “motivated by national hatred” to kill two prominent Russian journalists, Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency has reported. According to TASS, Russia’s intelligence agency foiled assassination attempts on Margarita Simonyan, the chief editor of state media outlet RT, and Ksenia Sobchak, a well-known journalist and TV host. Simonyan, a vocal supporter of Russia’s war in Ukraine and one of state television’s most recognisable faces, posted a message on Telegram about the alleged plot, urging the security services to “Keep on working, brothers!” Sobchak, an influencer often critical of the Kremlin, ran against Russian President Vladimir Putin in the 2018 presidential election. Two prominent pro-war Russian figures, journalist Darya Dugina and military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, have been killed in bomb attacks inside Russia in the past year.
