Oleg Gorshenin, the head of the Russian Inter-agency coordination headquarters on repatriation of Syrian refugees, argues that the United States government is fomenting instability in Syria through its use of humanitarian aid per a report by TASS. On top of that, Gorshenin argued that the US used the smokescreen of humanitarian aid as a means to plunder Syria of its resources.

“We are concerned over Washington’s cynical decision to allocate, supposedly for the needs of the Syrian people, $756 million with which it plans to provide selective humanitarian aid to residents of Syrian territories not controlled by the Syrian government,” Gorshenin declared during a joint meeting of Syrian and Russian Inter-agency headquarters that was held on October 20, 2022.
