President Vladimir Putin expressed the importance of Russia continuing its security operations against criminal and militant elements.

"It is necessary to continue coordinated, targeted security operations for combating terrorist activities of those who don't want to lay down their weapons,” Putin told participants at a conference devoted to anti-terrorists operations.

Regrettably, we still have such people, he added.

The Russian leader called for a concerted effort by all government agencies to confront this national challenge.

"All counter-terrorist operations must be planned out in detail, and the activities of various ministries and agencies [committed to such operations] must be coordinated," he said.

The call for greater vigilance comes at a time when Russia is preparing to host a number of international events, including the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, and the 2018 World Cup.

Putin acknowledged Russia’s recent success in neutralizing terrorists.

“Some 313 militants, including 43 militant leaders, were killed within the past three months,” he noted, before stressing that there is no room for mistakes.

“Methods of fighting organized crime and terrorism have been upgraded in recent years and our services have become much more efficient,” Putin told the attendees. “We pay a high price for every mistake.”

The Russian President stressed that in order to “care for our law-abiding citizens” it is crucial that Russia “pursue a pre-emptive tactic” against criminals and terrorists.

"We must be unyielding,” he said.

Putin then stressed the importance of intelligence work and effective information-sharing.

"The information work…should be brought to a new qualitative level, particularly in those regions, in those districts of the country, where any special operations are being carried out, and where the terrorist threat still exists," the president said.

@ sorry but you will go unregistered into oblivion too, with your twisted view on values of people "soldiers espessially", because Russian soldiers ain't chickens like Americans, that comes back from fight, just to kill themselves,and thereby the psycic condition are broken in them! And what you basics are for your silly claims, I am sure and know that you have no other facts than your own dreams and GI Joe figures, and computer games and Hollywood propagand a films gloryfying war! War are in no shape form or filmatication, anything but pain and suffering, and usually it's inocent civilians that takes the hardest blows! That has always been the case, and it always will be..And yes you are a SORRY excuse of a brainwashed nobody! Thank you to Mr. Putin and the Russian's that realize that they are under attack from western payed political fifth columnists, trying to undermine the government from within the country! And the psycotic attempts to try to convince "at least themselves" that Russia stands alone! That isn't nowhere near the truth. Continue the good work Mr.Putin and that you are so aware of the importance of syncronicity and coordinated comuncations between all branches of the defence branches and also the intelligece gathering, makes up the compleete superb defence, and combined with state of the art, modernized hardware, it's unbeatable! Hope you get "the crazy Doku Umarov chicken soon"!

SORRY BUT (unregistered) 21.10.2012 22:36

Putin is weak and so is Russia..One American soldier equals 12 Russian and put in place America's next generation exo-com-suits it will be something like 1-22. Russia put it all in during it's Soviet days and now will need at LEAST 75 years just to get back up to strength BUT with massive population declines and seemingly nothing stopping it Russia will continue to face worker shortages and heavy losses in numbers. Basically RUSSIA is screwed a relic of history for the history books... SORRY but it's true. Everyone knows this who has a brain and those who don't are in denial. SORRY
