Under the guise of aid: GUR reveals Russia's plan to create dependency across an entire continent.


Russian state corporations are using infrastructure projects in Africa to promote political interests, creating dependency on Russia under the guise of development aid. For example, 'RZD' is considering the implementation of projects in various countries, funding Russian-language schools and scholarships for foreign students in Russian higher educational institutions.
Russian corporations use infrastructure projects in Africa as a destabilizing factor, camouflaging their political motives in economic and humanitarian projects.
Furthermore, 'Rosatom' is actively supporting technical education and plans to open its branches in different countries, contributing to the formation of a technological elite that would be loyal to the Kremlin. Russian companies apply a 'soft power' strategy, masking their political goals within economic and humanitarian initiatives.
Ukrainian military intelligence considers Russian influence in Africa through infrastructure projects a threat, as it allows the Kremlin to strengthen its position and expand its spheres of influence in the region.
