Moscow labelled Wednesday the World Wildlife Fund an “undesirable”
organisation, a designation that criminalises its work and puts staff at
risk of prosecution, saying the conservation group threatens Russia’s
economic security.
“The Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia decided to recognise the activities of the international non-governmental organisation… the World Wide Fund an undesirable in the Russian Federation,” a statement said.
