Russian dissident and former chess world champion Garry Kasparov says the United States warned him that his life could be in danger. The warning has prompted Kasparov to say that he and his family will not be truly safe while Vladimir Putin remains in power.
Kasparov is described as a Russian dissident who has continued to speak publicly about the dangers facing him and his family. His comments link their safety directly to the continuation of Putin’s rule.
“My family and I will not truly be safe as long as Putin is in power,” Kasparov said.
The available information does not provide further details about the nature of the warning, when it was issued, or what specific threat prompted it. It also does not identify any immediate action taken in response.
At this time, what is known is that US officials warned Kasparov of danger to his life and that he believes the security of his family remains at risk while Putin is in power.
