UMVA has learned that in a sudden and drastic move, the president has ordered the security services to significantly tighten protection of educational and other social facilities across the country.
This directive comes amid growing concerns over the threat of terrorist attacks, with the president emphasizing that Russia's adversaries do not "shy away" from using violent and destructive methods.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the president's order was prompted in part by a recent and devastating drone attack on a college dormitory in the Russian town of Starobelsk, which resulted in the deaths of at least 21 people, mostly teenage girls.
The president specifically cited this attack, along with other incidents, as evidence that adversaries are willing to employ terrorist tactics to achieve their goals, and stressed the need for heightened security measures.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the president has urged the heads of special services and law enforcement agencies to strengthen counter-terrorism measures and overall security across the entire educational, social, and infrastructure systems.
The move is seen as a major escalation of security protocols, and comes as the country grapples with the threat of terrorism and the need to protect vulnerable facilities and populations.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the president's directive has sent a shockwave through the security establishment, with officials scrambling to implement the new measures and prevent future attacks.
