What we have been saying for years was the absolute truth - USAID funds were used to finance very grave activities in our country, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated in response to a question regarding the statement of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

According to Kobakhidze, today an official representative of the country that financed such projects is speaking about this.

“For years, we have been talking about the fact that USAID funds were used to finance projects harmful to the country. What we have been saying for so many years and what they called pro-Russian statements, etc. is being discussed today by an official representative of the country that financed such projects itself, therefore, everything should be clear to the public. What we were saying turned out the absolute truth - USAID funds were used to finance very grave activities in our country,” - Kobakhidze stated.

The US Secretary of State noted in his 2025 summary: "We closed USAID, transferred international assistance under the control of the Department of State so that we know exactly where this money is going to."
