MOSCOW, June 20. /TASS/. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has refused to either confirm or deny reports that a decision was allegedly made to re-establish the border patrol as a separate entity.
"I know nothing about any decisions on this matter. Regrettably, I cannot confirm this," he told journalists.
Lieutenant General Andrey Gurulev, a member of the Russian State Duma (lower parliament house), wrote on his Telegram channel earlier that it had been decided to re-establish the border service.
