“Of course, with such stakes, any means are at play. Hence the constant rotation of militants in the Syrian-Iraqi and Afghan-Pakistani zones, and the emergence of new militant training camps near the southern borders of the commonwealth. This can also include the imposition of various formats of cooperation in the sphere of defense and security, as well as political and economic pressure on the leadership of CIS states,” the FSB director added.

“Before the two world wars, there were preparations for entering a war using the media for quite a long time. I think what is happening today in Brussels and Washington, but more in Brussels than in Washington, is a kind of preparation of the attitudes for a possible direct conflict. We can safely say that there are preparations for Europe's entry into war, and this is happening in the media and statements of politicians,” Orban said.

"The enemy is trying to compensate for the lack of manpower with drones. It builds up resources in the area. And, by the way, they have gained such FPVs that can carry a kilogram of explosives," he explained.

"They do it for a reason. We have 'runners.' People who run up to forward positions with food for the fighters. They used to just throw the whole contents of a backpack on the ground. Then fighters started finding hidden explosives in that pile. So now we just hand everything over in packed bags," the commander said.

He emphasized that this is “playing with fire, and those who play with fire are bound to get burned themselves.”

"The Russian Federation assumes that US weapons are hitting targets on Russian territory, primarily civilian infrastructure - this is on their conscience," he said.

“We will announce the dates in due time,” the Kremlin added.
