  1. All grants were cancelled/frozen by current US government.
  2. Document sources are directly from Russia.
  3. Satellite imagery backs up the documents.

  You are welcome to dispute the claims, but blanket “it was funded by US” holds as much weight as Trump saying he’s not a fascist.

    1. Is meaningless. It’s been a couple months of future funding being frozen. The existing grants, the leadership, and the entire history of the org is tainted by being funded by the “soft power” arm of the US government. Just to note, the state department is the department that employed hundreds of people to flood Twitter in various languages in influence campaigns.
    2. I don’t see any references to documents from Russia in the article or it’s second level links. Can you link me?
    3. You can’t count children nor observe brainwashing via satellites.

    Just a reminder that the US has been brainwashing it’s 100 million children for over a century through propaganda riddled public school curriculum. So the accusation that Russia is providing children with a basic education that includes things the US would find objectionable is actually more than I would expect Russia to do to take care of those kids.
