Russian President Urges Heightened Security Amid Escalating Threats

The head of state instructed the country’s main security agency to tighten protection around power plants, pipelines, and transport routes following recent attacks he attributes to foreign spies.

Key points from the speech:

Conflict Milestone: The remarks came on the fourth anniversary of the war.
Warnings to Adversaries: Those pushing Moscow “too far” will face serious consequences.
Current Tactics of the Enemy: The opposition has yet to secure a decisive battlefield victory, so they resort to terror tactics—bombing cities, severing infrastructure, and targeting officials.
Persistence of Hostile Actions: The enemy will “try everything until they reach an extreme point,” after which they will regret their actions.
Accusations Against Ukraine: Blamed for strikes on Russian oil depots, refineries, and ports; linked these attacks to high‑level assassinations.
Potential Threats to Pipelines: Pipelines beneath the Black Sea may be at risk.
Directive Details:
Maximum security for critical sites, public venues, and transport hubs.
Additional measures will be deployed if necessary to safeguard these facilities.
