This was stated by the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev at a meeting in the city of Syktyvkar in Russia.
He also said that an increase in radiation has already been recorded in Poland.

"Despite Russia's recent military victories in Ukraine, the Kremlin is far from achieving its goals and is preparing for a long war". This became clear from a statement by Putin's close friend Nikolai Patrushev. The Secretary of the Security Council and former head of the FSB explained to the media that the war will continue until Russia achieves its goals.

He wanted to see Russia fall apart.
"Dick wanted to see the collapse not only of the Soviet Union, but of Russia itself, so that it would never again be a threat to the rest of the world," CIA Director Robert Gates wrote in his memoirs.

In vain, both Lithuania and the European Union tried to explain to Russia that the blockade, which includes coal, metals, construction materials and advanced technology, is not its independent decision, but the implementation of a joint EU decision on sanctions.

Russia has summoned the European Union's ambassador today in open anger at the suspension on Saturday of the transit of sanctioned goods through Lithuania to the Russian Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad, world news agencies reported.

Russia called the measure an "illegal blockade" and threatened retaliation against Lithuania, Reuters reported.

US President Donald Trump wants to hold talks with Iran about eliminating its nuclear weapons program, US National Security Adviser John Bolton said in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning.

Serbia will continue to pursue close security cooperation with Russia in order to protect Serbia's own national interests, in particular amid increasingly aggressive rhetoric from Kosovo Albanian politicians, Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs Nebojsa Stefanovic told Sputnik Srbija.

Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic was in Moscow on Monday, where he met with Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev.
