A plot by Russian intelligence services to assassinate Ruslan Gabbasov, the leader of the Bashkir national movement abroad, has been uncovered in Lithuania
On March 12, 2025, Lithuanian security forces thwarted an assassination attempt and detained part of the group. The investigation is currently ongoing, including in Greece, where another member of the network was recently arrested.
The killers were promised approximately 40,000 euros for the murder, and the organizer up to 50,000 euros. 5,000 euros had already been transferred for preparations, including documents and travel to Lithuania.
European investigators report that Ruslan Gabbasov was being followed, information was collected, and an attempt was made to access his devices.
This information was withheld for over a year to avoid interfering with the investigation.
