The United States Office of Management and Budget has recommended to the State Department to halt the financing of nearly twenty programs worldwide, including those investigating the crimes of Russian military in Ukraine. This was reported by “Reuters”.
This recommendation is not yet a final decision — the State Department may object to it.
However, according to Reuters sources, it is unlikely that the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, supports preserving most of these programs. Instead, he might favor continuing only the most critical initiatives.
This decision is garnering significant attention in the international community, particularly against the backdrop of investigations into Russia's military crimes.
