The U.S. government has also said the two are suspected of attempting to sway elections in Ukraine, Spain, the United Kingdom and Ireland.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to the Treasury Department, Popov was the main handler for \u201cco-optees\u201d Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov and Natalya Valeryevna Burlinova who were previously sanctioned by the Treasury Department and have also been indicted for their alleged activities. \u201cFrom as early as 2015 through at least 2022, Popov worked with Burlinova and oversaw her activities on behalf of the FSB,\u201d Treasury said.<\/p>\n<p>Ionov and Burlinova influenced multiple U.S. individuals and political groups all in an effort to \u201cto create or heighten divisions within the country,\u201d according to a sanctions <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy0899\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announcement in July 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s unlikely any of the four Russians sanctioned by the U.S. government and facing charges related to election interference will see the inside of an American court, the actions are part of broader government effort to more aggressively push back against foreign influence on elections, which many experts believe is only expected to increase ahead of the 2024 presidential campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Former Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Chris Krebs <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/chris-krebs-election-security-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said earlier this month<\/a> to expect a \u201cvery, very active threat
