Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved the country’s national security strategy. The decree comes into force from the date of its signing. The previous version of the strategy was approved by Putin’s decree on December 31, 2015.
The document says, in particular, that Russia has demonstrated its stability to the whole world and proved its ability to resist sanctions pressure. The work on reducing dependence on imports in key sectors of the economy continues. And the level of food and energy security has also increased.
The strategy also states that NATO’s testing of the possibility of using nuclear weapons increases military threats against Russia. Meanwhile, destructive forces in the Russian Federation and abroad are trying to use objective difficulties to undermine the situation in Russia.
The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation is the basic document of strategic planning. It defines the national interests and strategic national priorities of Russia, as well as goals, objectives and measures in the field of domestic and foreign policy. These measures are aimed at strengthening national security, as well as ensuring the country’s sustainable development in the long term.
