US intelligence services have obtained information that Russia is drafting lists of political opponents to possibly arrest or assassinate if it invades Ukraine, Foreign Policy reported.
Four sources familiar with US intelligence told the outlet that the lists include Ukrainian political figures, anti-corruption activists, and Belarusian and Russian dissidents living in exile in Ukraine.
The report comes amid growing certainty among Western leaders than an invasion of Ukraine by Russia is imminent.
President Joe Biden said on Friday he was "convinced" that Russian President Vladimir Putin would launch an attack into the country in the coming days.
Russia has continuously denied that it plans to attack, but has so far amassed as many as 190,000 troops along the Ukraine-Russia border.
Five Eyes — the international intelligence alliance of the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand — has also tracked Russian intelligence agencies, such as the FSB and GRU, building up "target and kill" lists, Foreign Policy reported.
The Biden administration has been surprised by how detailed the lists are, according to Foreign Policy. The lists, the publication reports, seem to target anyone who might challenge Russia's agenda in the region.
The move would be in keeping with Russia's previous actions. Moscow has previously tried to "force cooperation through intimidation and repression," one US official speaking under the condition of anonymity told Foreign Policy.
"These acts, which in past Russian operations have included targeted killings, kidnappings/forced disappearances, detentions, and the use of torture, would likely target those who oppose Russian actions," the official told the outlet.

I’m going snowmobiling.
Then some hot cocoa.
Let me know when someone tells the truth or gets indicted.
Big deal.
Russia has wanted to assassinate me for a long time.
I’m still aro
Too bad the LEFT has no credibility after Russia Russia Russia lies. And mandating vaccines that don’t work.
Reminds me of the US Biden administration.
Is that the Sunday list or the Monday list.
Like Canada?
How long has President Retard and his cohorts imprisoned political opponents without due justice? 🤪
explains why the President escaped to Germany.
you mean the one they update regularly???
What a web of lies between the RT gang and the MSM. Probably have to read some Costa Rica paper to get actual news.
Polonium
How very....Trudeau...of them.
Translation: “Pick up the gun.”
The US government has kept a list like that for decades, and its aimed at US citizens they intend to round up in case of war.
And doubtful this story is even true since it’s coming from our intel and white hut.
Interesting take from a video on FOX:
Biden has no tricks, Putin has ‘sanction-proofed’ his economy: Koffler
Former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz and former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Rebekah Koffler weigh in on latest development in Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Fleitz says Biden has blown it, keeps making stupid meaningless appearances that don’t help. Biden not using his best expert on Russia to help.
Send all of our #EqualBrave Women, #TrannyLove, and #BlackPower people to aid the Ukraine.
It’ll be like Marvel Comics for real!...
I feel like the guys that go onto threads about the NFL and say they don’t like the NFL.
I am no fan of Russia. And if I lived in Germany I would be pissed about the potential for a Russian invasion next door.
But I am not in Russia. I am not in Europe.
We have no case for sending a sungle troop. We should not commit a single aircraft. We should keep our Navy far away from this.
But there are lots of folks with war woodies. They need need to take a cold shower. And buy Nat gas futures.
Please say they will arrest the entire Vindman family. Or maybe they will arrest Hunter Biden’s Burisma corruption pimp Mykola Zlochevsky. Or maybe they will shutdown Soros’ Open Society Foundation which helped organize the coup of 2014.
Ukraine is a cancer on the US body politics.
If Russia completely took back that corrupt shythole, the deep state would be hurt, but it would benefit average Americans
Just like democrats
