Putin notes increasing number of terrorist crimes in Russia

MOSCOW. Feb 28 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has noted the increasing number of terrorist crimes in Russia, including those associated with actions of the Ukrainian authorities.

"The number of such [terrorist] crimes has grown over the past year - obviously, this is related, in particular, to the attempts of the Kiev regime to resort to terrorist methods," Putin said at a meeting of the Federal Security Service (FSB) board on Tuesday.

"We are well aware of that, they have been doing that in Donbass for a long time," he said.
