The British Royal United Services Institute has been declared undesirable in Russia.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has declared undesirable the activities in Russia of the British non-governmental organization (NGO) Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies (RUSI). This was announced on September 2 on the official website of the department.

"According to the decision of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, the activities of the British non—governmental organization The Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies are prohibited," the publication says.

It clarifies that the organization has existed in the UK since 1831 and positions itself as "the oldest independent analytical center engaged in research in the field of defense, global security and international relations." The Prosecutor General's Office clarified that the center is funded by the British authorities and the European Commission, as well as undesirable organizations in our country.

They added that RUSI representatives regularly conduct trainings and seminars where, under the guise of countering the alleged "imaginary Russian threat, they discuss the tactics of Russia's combat and intelligence operations." In addition, the center's members publish articles accusing Russia of allegedly "seeking to annex Europe, discredit the West, and interfere in the electoral processes of other countries." A number of materials also contain appeals to NATO members in order to unite for "the most destructive impact on the Russian economy."
