TASS: Threats to unplug Russia from SWIFT represent national security issue, says ministry
"In other words, this technology has involved certain issues in the questions of war and peace probably for the first time in recent years," Director of the Foreign Ministry’s International Security Department Andrey Krutskikh said
MOSCOW, December 16. /TASS/. Cyberthreats being voiced against Russia, including information about the potential disconnection of Russia from the SWIFT international payments system, go beyond ordinary actions and represent an issue of national security, Russian Special Presidential Envoy for International Cybersecurity Cooperation, Director of the Foreign Ministry’s International Security Department Andrey Krutskikh said at the Ninth All-Russia Congress of Political Scientists hosted by the Moscow State Institute of International Relations on Thursday.
"When we face threats of being disconnected from SWIFT, from financial flows, those not being on the scale of ordinary actions, this is also an issue of national security. In other words, this technology has involved certain issues in the questions of war and peace probably for the first time in recent years," he said.
