Russia has a long history of using migration as a weapon in its hybrid warfare against the West. From Africa to North America and to Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has deliberately pushed waves of migrants to Western nations in an attempt to create chaos.

Russian forces posted this video showing a Black fighter used as a human bomb.
In Vienna, I took time to explain to diplomats, human rights campaigners, and civil society leaders how Russia’s African troll armies don’t just stir trouble locally but flood social media and diaspora channels with coordinated narratives designed to hit Europe where it hurts.
Fired up and ready to speak about atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa to journalists, activists and human rights campaigners from around the world, gathered in Mérida, Spain, for the International Congress on Migration and Development Journalism.
I’ve been saying this for many months and I’ll continue to say: Russia is desperate to create a migration crisis too difficult for Europe to handle. It will succeed if Europe continues to ignore warnings like this.
What a welcome I’ve had in Ukraine, where I have met some of the bravest and most resilient people on earth. Thanks to the Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea for the invitation.

Russia's African footholds—now in over a dozen countries—serve as testing grounds for tactics later deployed in Europe. Control over migration routes in Libya and the Sahel gives Moscow leverage to weaponize refugees, much like Belarus did on the EU's eastern border in 2021.
The Wagner Group’s atrocities are not just an African problem; they are a global crisis. The gold extracted through forced labor funds Russia’s war in Ukraine. The disinformation they spread undermines democratic institutions worldwide. Their impunity emboldens other mercenaries to operate unchecked
Russia is engineering a migration crisis for Europe, spreading disinformation across West Africa to push desperate people toward deadly Mediterranean routes, while private militias control smuggling networks in Libya. The aim is to destabilize & divide the EU. Time to counter it.

Q: Can you comment on the IRS settlement which was rolled over into this weaponization fund over at DOJ? Bessent: It would be inappropriate for me to comment. Trump is a great American who has endured more than 10 years of nonstop harassment and weaponization. Wait, what?!?! Projection!

So Democrats were all for ensuring Iran didn't get a nuclear weapon as long as Trump wasn't the one to do it? Imagine hating someone so much that you would rather see everyone fail. Join the party that wants America to succeed. Vote Republican!
