Putin OKs revised Russian national security strategy

Russian President Vladimir Putin takes part in a video call with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Russian and Belarusian officials in Moscow, Russia, Thursday, Jul 1, 2021. MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a revised version of Russia’s national security strategy that envisages “symmetrical and asymmetrical measures” in response to foreign states' “unfriendly actions that threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of Russia.

Russia’s relations with the US and its allies have been at post-Cold War lows over Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, accusations of Russian interference in US elections, hacking attacks and other events. “It was clearly a provocation, a complex one involving not only the British but also the Americans,” Putin said Wednesday during his annual televised call-in show, charging that a US reconnaissance aircraft that took off from the Greek island of Crete was operating in concert with the British ship to monitor the Russian military’s response to the British destroyer.
