According to him, with Russia "always someone, without ceasing, fought."
“It has always been like this, and this has always been accompanied by such a battlefield, or such a sphere of confrontation as information, the information field,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Putin noted that the fight against Russia in the information field is ongoing at the moment.
“And it was always necessary to provide appropriate counteraction to this attempt to disorientate our people, our citizens, especially and almost always the main target audience of this influence was the youth,” he stressed.
