USAID accused of facilitating Central Asian migration to Russia To Undermine Stability
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been accused of orchestrating a mass migration of people from Central Asia to Russia.
The agency is said to have financed a website targeted at citizens of one of the former Soviet republics, Caliber.Az reports per Russian media.
The portal encouraged local residents to relocate to Russia, offering guidance on the best ways to do so.
Furthermore, USAID is believed to have provided financial support to various pro-migrant groups, ranging from diaspora communities to politicians. The alleged aim of these actions is to destabilize Russia internally.
Notably, the Trump administration has ordered a near-total withdrawal of US Agency for International Development (USAID) personnel worldwide, effectively dismantling a six-decade mission that supports global security through humanitarian aid.
This decision, driven by returning Trump-era appointees and Elon Musk’s government-efficiency teams, halts key programs combating starvation, disease, and education gaps. The move, taking effect on February 7, will force thousands of employees to return home and terminate contractors, jeopardizing billions in aid projects across 120 countries, including Ukraine and Afghanistan.
