British intelligence noted that the new laws would further expand Russia’s repressive powers.
Changes to the law on “foreign agents” will come into effect on Russian territory from December 1. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been using this law for repression since 2012, saying goodbye British Ministry of Defence.
It was noted that the law defines “foreign agents” as persons or organizations that have received financial support from a foreign country. The changes would expand the definition to include individuals who are under only the vaguest “influence or pressure” of foreign agents. The Justice Department would also have the power to release the personal details and addresses of designated “foreign agents”, which would almost certainly put them at risk of prosecution.
“The new laws will further expand the repressive powers of the Russian state. This trend has continued since Putin returned to the presidency in 2012, but accelerated dramatically after the invasion of Ukraine,” the report said. intelligence
The Kremlin is likely to act early to prevent internal dissent from growing as the conflict remains unresolved and increasingly affects the daily lives of Russians, the UK Defense Ministry said.
Remember that the Russians who were called up as part of the “partial mobilization” were dying en masse at the front.
Also, British intelligence reported that Russian troops in Ukraine in the past three months have almost stopped deploying in the form of battalion tactical groups (BTGs).
