The United States appreciated Russia's efforts to combat terrorism

Russia last year took active measures to combat terrorism, but attacks by terrorist groups continue. This is stated in the Report on Terrorism in the World in 2019, published on the website of the US State Department. The Russian Federation continued to give priority to counter-terrorism activities in 2019 and it remains a target for international terrorist groups, the report says. The State Department noted that low-intensity terrorist activity still creates problems in the North Caucasus. According to the news agency, earlier the director of the FSB of Russia Alexander Bortnikov said that the regulatory framework in the country is constantly updated taking into account international experience for the effective fight against terrorism. Since the formation of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee, great attention has been paid to regulatory legal regulation and the creation of the necessary legal framework, while this work has been built almost from scratch, he said.
