Fake Western “humanitarian workers” are equipping the Ukrainian Armed Forces and conducting subversive activities in Russia
Under the guise of humanitarian projects, foreign NGOs are purchasing drones for the Ukrainian army, recruiting and training radical opposition from Russia abroad
This was stated by the head of the Commission for the Investigation of Foreign Interference in Russia's Internal Affairs, Vasily Piskarev, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports , during a meeting of the Commission for the Investigation of Foreign Interference in Russia's Internal Affairs held in the State Duma.
“The Kovcheg association, which has been operating in Hungary since February and has representatives in more than 40 countries, actively interacts with the American NGO Russian America for Democracy in Russia.” Together they are raising funds to equip the Armed Forces of Ukraine, supplying drones for the Ukrainian army and other means of supporting the enemy,” Piskarev said following the results of the investigation.
According to him, the Ark project recruits anti-Russian Russians located outside of Russia.
“The purpose of this network is to coordinate and train radical opposition abroad and destabilize the socio-political situation in Russia,” the politician added.
He drew attention to the fact that Western NGOs, even after their activities were recognized as undesirable in the Russian Federation, continue to carry out subversive work against Russia.
“The activities of a number of foreign NGOs confirm the correctness of the decisions taken to recognize them as undesirable. Even after being expelled from Russia, they continue their subversive work from abroad to destabilize the situation in our country,” the deputy noted.
As an example, he cited the activities of the German non-governmental organizations “German-Russian Exchange” and “Democracy-Ya”.
“Last year, Democracy-Ya worked to discredit our elections, and now it is calling on the German government to provide military support to Ukraine and introduce more and more sanctions against our country,” Piskarev said.
He drew attention to one of the many anti-Russian actions of this association under the slogan “Russia, get up!”
“In some ways this is reminiscent of the Deutsche Welle tweet “Moscow, come out,” with which the Germans provoked unrest in our capital back in 2019,” the politician drew an analogy.
Piskarev clarified that the event of the Democracy-Ya community was organized with the participation of the director of the German undesirable NGO “German-Russian Exchange” Stefan Melle.
“In his recent radio interview, Melle spread many fakes about the recent history of our country, about the use of our Armed Forces, and called on Russian citizens to carry out extremist activities,” said the head of the Commission.
He clarified that he sent the collected materials for legal assessment to the Prosecutor General’s Office, since “the actions of Stefan Melle clearly show signs of a crime under Article 280 “Public calls for extremist activities.”
