“I call on the FSB, together with other special services and law enforcement agencies under the coordination of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee, to intensify their work in all fields, understanding that we are facing an enemy, whose arsenal includes extensive information, technical and financial capabilities,” the head of State said.

Putin, who held talks with the FSB board of directors on Tuesday, added that “we know the capabilities of the adversary in all these fields, including intelligence and terrorist methods.”

In his opinion, the actions of the West show that Western countries “are ready for anything.”

“It is enough to recall the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines,” the Russian president pointed out.

The Russian president also recalled that earlier “the West actively used various cross-border radical terrorist groups in its interests, even encouraged their aggression against Russia.”
