Moscow and Belarusian officials have welcomed the dismantling of USAID, which has raised concerns among rights groups and independent media about the impact on their operations. The Trump administration plans to significantly reduce the agency's workforce, effectively ending many operations. While some Russian officials celebrate the move, civil society groups warn it jeopardizes their work. In Belarus, rights groups face drastic funding cuts, with many expected to close. The situation in Moldova is similarly dire, as USAID funding is crucial for monitoring elections. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán also supports the dismantling, aiming to eliminate NGOs funded by the US.
