The new version of the National Security Strategy emphasizes that “In the context of implementing a deliberate policy aimed at containing the Russian Federation, strengthening sovereignty, independence, territorial and state integrity, protecting the traditional spiritual and moral foundations of Russian society, ensuring defense and security, preventing interference in the internal affairs of the Russian Federation is of vital importance for the country.”

The new version of the National Security Strategy considers NATO's construction of military infrastructure near the Russian border, increased intelligence activities, etc., to increase military dangers and military threats to the Russian Federation. The National Security Strategy has just been approved and will take effect from July 2, 2021.
