Alexander Bortnikov, Federal Security Service (FSB) chief and National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) chairman, stated that Ukraine, with the support of NATO countries, is stepping up its efforts to commit terrorist attacks and sabotage on the Russian territory, the information center of NAC reported.

"In his speech (at a meeting of NAC - TASS), the chairman of the NAC noted that the enemy, with the support of the United States and other NATO countries, is stepping up efforts to commit terrorist attacks and sabotage on the Russian territory, trying to weaken the resource support of the Russian army and provoke panic among the population.

They search for and recruit perpetrators of high-profile crimes, including among labor migrants," the NAC reported.
