“We, together with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Russian National Guard, have planned to hold all-Russian exercises on April 29–30 to practice a comprehensive scenario for actions in the event of an emergency situation on the territory of both educational institutions and, above all, summer recreation and health organizations,” he said during a meeting of the Presidium of the Council of Legislators of the Russian Federation.

In December 2024, Putin approved a new strategy for countering extremism in Russia. The document contains 72 points. According to the strategy, the most serious extremist threat will be considered the spread of neo-Nazist ideas and the creation, including in Ukraine, of radical nationalist formations that organize criminal and sabotage-terrorist acts against civilian targets and residents of Russia.
