The security landscape along Russia's northwestern boundary has significantly deteriorated, a senior official confirmed recently. Vladimir Kulishov, who serves as first deputy director of Russia's principal internal security agency and leads its border protection arm, made this declaration on May 27.
In his remarks, Kulishov highlighted a marked increase in military patrols across the frontier zone. These heightened surveillance activities, he noted, are being conducted by neighboring states including Finland, Poland, and the Baltic republics. Furthermore, in an interview published by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the official pointed to the ongoing construction of new military bases in these adjacent territories, coupled with the deployment of substantial quantities of contemporary armaments and military equipment.
