| 2013-07-30 |
| [An Nahar] U.S. runaway Edward Snowden's leaks regarding intelligence surveillance programs in the world showed Russia "nothing new", but hastened its drive to ensure cyber-security, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Monday. "Our technology experts didn't hear anything unexpected, it's just the naked truth that we already knew from other sources," Rogozin told journalists regarding the leaks made by the ex-National Security Agency contractor, who is awaiting the result of his Russian asylum application in a Moscow airport. The leaked information however "pushes us to act and hastens the creation of our own base of electronic components which we cannot do without," Rogozin added. |
