Terrorism - a new threat

In his address to Russian military personnel and veterans, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that in order to maintain peace in the world, "double standards and short-sighted pandering to those who are nurturing new criminal plans are unacceptable", referring to the cooperation of Western countries with terrorists, particularly in Syria. According to the Russian president, terrorism is now a global threat, and Russia "is obliged to defeat evil."
