Moscow. February 27. INTERFAX-AVN - Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to transfer the deterrence forces of the Russian army to a special mode of combat duty.

"Senior officials of the leading NATO countries allow aggressive statements against our country, therefore I order the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff to transfer the deterrence forces of the Russian army to a special combat duty regime," Putin said during a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov.

"There is," Shoigu said in response.

The President noted that Western countries are taking unfriendly actions against Russia and in the economic sphere.

"I mean illegitimate sanctions, which everyone is well aware of," Putin said.
