Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the losses in the rads of the Federal Security Service during a special military operation in Ukraine.
“Unfortunately, dear comrades, we know about it. Unfortunately, there are also losses in our ranks,” the head of state said in his speech to the expanded FSB board.
The department’s leadership must provide additional support to the families of deceased employees, Putin said. Furthermore, the President urged to pay attention to the fight against extremism and the regional counter-terrorism system.
Earlier, retired FSB Major General Alexander Mikhailov commented on reports of US willingness to transfer saboteurs to Russia and CIS countries to carry out provocations against officials and officials of security.
