During a meeting on strengthening interethnic and interfaith relations in Russia, Medvedev noted that in the light of these events, there is a threat of interethnic conflicts that can be used by criminal groups and structures.

"Therefore, I would ask the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the General Prosecutor's Office of Russia to prepare a forecast of such threats by April next year and, on this basis, develop a set of measures to neutralize such threats," TASS quotes him.

In September, Medvedev said that in 2020, 24 illegal interference with the operation of transport facilities and 517 threats of such actions were recorded.
