"This is part of the propaganda campaign ahead of the elections," he said at a meeting of the Russian Security Council’s commission on contracting servicemen for the Russian army. "Obviously, they are seeking to destabilize the situation in our country, create negative moods," he noted. Or a story fabricated by the enemy," he added. "I would like to draw the attention of the presidential envoys in the federal districts, head of regions, defense ministry and other officials to this," he said.
