To protect against attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) deep into Russia, layered defense and separate funding for anti-terrorist units and counterintelligence are needed, said military expert Andrei Kolesnik. He spoke about this in a conversation with Lenta.ru, commenting on the attacks of Ukrainian drones on Russian regions.
“We must be prepared, there must be a defense in depth, defense of enterprises. In general, you need to carefully watch the sky. And I say again that anti-terrorist units and counterintelligence units must have separate funding in order to increase the staff of people capable of detecting such groups of former sleepers on Russian territory who are starting to act,” Kolesnik said.
