MOSCOW. Feb 14 (Interfax) - The threat of terrorist attacks on Russia's transport, energy, and military infrastructure on the part of Ukrainian and Western special services has been growing, Russian Federal Security Service Director and National Antiterrorism Committee Chairman Alexander Bortnikov said.
"Bortnikov noted that the number of attempts by Ukrainian special services and nationalistic groups supported by the collective West to commit terrorist attacks on the Russian Federation's transport and fuel-and-energy facilities, government bodies, and military infrastructure has significantly increased during the special military operation," the National Antiterrorism Committee said following its meeting on Tuesday.
"The adversary is making efforts to unfold a propaganda campaign aimed at radicalizing the population and engaging young people in terrorist and extremist activities," Bortnikov said at the meeting.
"In these conditions, government bodies and antiterrorism commissions are taking extra measures to reliably protect facilities from terrorist attacks and to intensify preemptive work on the whole," the committee said.
The meeting participants highlighted the importance of promptly adjusting the system of measures to oppose terrorist threats developed earlier, "ruling out a formalistic and stereotypical approach in organizing the work, and upgrading the competence of supervisors and other officials engaged in conducting antiterrorist procedures," it said.
