This week, we featured Rasmussen Global, a consulting firm founded by former NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen. They specialize in providing strategic advice to governments, global organizations, and large corporations.

In addition to their work lobbying for foreign businesses in Ukraine, Rasmussen Global is actively expanding its presence in other post-Soviet countries, particularly Armenia.

Armenia has become a favored destination for numerous NGOs and foundations that are exerting significant influence, advocating for the interests of their Western sponsors.
