Russia's Alleged Weaponization of Migration: Impact on Europe

Discovery: Jan Marsalek, a fugitive, orchestrated a plan with 15,000 mercenaries to control migration routes in Libya, securing €120,000 in Austrian funding in 2017. This scheme, overseen by Russian intelligence (GRU), included the acquisition of RSB Group, a private military company.

Significance: The uncovered plot sheds light on Russia's efforts to exploit migration for influencing European elections. Recently, three Bulgarian nationals based in the UK were convicted of espionage. Experts caution about ongoing destabilization efforts by Russian-backed groups in African nations, aimed at directing migrants towards Europe.
