Putin Plans to Flood West With Migrants .. Russia Using Militias in Africa to Weaponise Flows of People in Attempts to Influence Elections
Vladimir Putin Threatens to NUKE The West and Accuses NATO of Preparing to Strike Russia

Putin planning to use private militias to 'weaponise' flow of migrants Russia is trying to destabilise Europe and influence its elections by moving migrants into the continent using private armies, it is claimed.
Vladimir Putin has attempted '15,000-man strong border police force' made up of former Libyan militias to 'weaponise' the flow of migrants from Africa, according to reports.
The Kremlin has already been accused of trying to create a refugee crisis by sending asylum seekers to its border with Finland, forcing the new NATO member to close its doors to migrants in a bid to stem the tide. There are fears that the country could renew its efforts this spring, with the EU's border police force saying Russia is using migration 'as a lever in a larger game of influence and pressure'.
Using private mercenaries, including the notorious Wagner group, it is believed Russia will fuel violence in places such as Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Central African Republic and Libya to drive migrants towards Europe.
Last year Finland was forced to close its doors to asylum seekers at four crossings after arguing that Putin was deliberately sending them across the border in retaliation for it joining NATO.
Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (pictured) said it was 'clear that these people are helped and they are also being escorted or transported to the border by border guards', although Russia dismissed the claims.
Dr Sergey Sukhankin, a senior fellow at The Jamestown Foundation and an adviser at Gulf State Analytics in Washington, told the Telegraph: 'The various waves of illegal migrants from Africa might increase, because Russia is planning to create a new military facility in the Central African Republic.'
Central African Republic is a key part of some of the most-used migrant routes, with asylum seekers from places such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo moving through on their way north to Sudan and Libya.
