Pamfilova said that the CIA, MI6 and others are sponsoring those who want to disrupt the elections. According to Pamfilova, some relocants are trained to organize provocations, while others come to Russia to carry out provocations on the spot.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev previously called relocant Russians who support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and are waging a campaign from abroad against their homeland as scoundrels. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that relocates will be held accountable for provocations during elections.
