Russian President Vladimir Putin accuses Ukraine and “Western special services” of instigating the anti-Israel riot at Dagestan’s Makhachkala airport last night, but calls on Russian security services to maintain order.
“The events in Makhachkala last night were instigated also through social networks, not least from Ukraine, by the hands of agents of Western special services,” Putin says in televised comments.
The Russian president calls on Russian law enforcement to take “firm” actions following the antisemitic mob attack.
“I want to draw the attention of heads of all regions, heads of law enforcement agencies and special services to the need for firm, timely and clear actions to protect Russia’s constitutional order, the rights and freedoms of our citizens, inter-ethnic and inter-religious harmony,” Putin says.
