Putin: “Western special services’ attempts to destabilize Russia require tough response”

Russian President Vladimir Putin tasked the country’s domestic security agencies with thwarting any attempts by Western special services to destabilize the situation in Russia or interfere into its domestic affairs, according to TASS Russian News Agency.

“Of course, we must thwart any attempts by foreign intelligence services to destabilize the social and political situation in Russia, to undermine civil peace and interethnic accord, to interfere in our internal affairs, and to violate the sovereign and unshakable right of the Russian people to determine their own future,” Putin said in a video address on Security Agency Worker’s Day.
