President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good evening, colleagues,

Today we have got an issue related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

However, I want to begin with what I said today at the meeting with the first cohort of the Time of Heroes alumni - the terrorist attack by the Kiev junta against the Lugansk People's Republic.

In general, I have spoken up in that regard. I think, I have said what could and should be said. But if you have your assessments or proposals in this respect, I want you also to speak up about it in the course of our today's meeting.

I think we would rather begin with this. And then we will pass over to the report by Minister of the Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev.
