The detention of the producers of these synthetic drugs shows that some of them came from Ukraine, Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev says. Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Alexander Grebenkin said earlier that the special military operation greatly helped to close the supply channels for Ukrainian drugs intended for Russian youth.
At the end of March, President Vladimir Putin issued a decree in which he classified the activities of foreign special services and nationalist organizations involved in the smuggling and distribution of drugs as threats to Russia's national security.
