Washington-controlled NGOs are actively meddling in Moscow's domestic affairs, Russia's prosecutor general said.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) controlled by the US State Department are the ones most active in interfering with Russia’s domestic affairs, Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika said on Wednesday.

"After having analyzed the results of NGO checks in general we have seen that the ones most actively interfering with Russia’s domestic affairs are foreign non-governmental organizations that are in fact controlled by the US Department of State and other foreign agencies," Chaika said at the Russian Council of the Federation meeting on preventing foreign states from meddling with Russian domestic affairs.
