"A large number of terrorist Takfiri fighters in Syria, who bear Saudi
and Chechnian nationalities and receive financial and military backup
from the Saudi intelligence agency, have been transferred to the

Speaking before the US House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday, US Assistant Secretary of European Affairs Victoria Nuland said that the State Department is vastly increasing its budget for battling what she calls “the Kremlin’s pervasive propaganda campaign poisoning minds across Russia, on Russia’s periphery, and across Europe.
