"Migrant Streams": Patrushev spoke of the threat of collapse of

The Secretary of the Russian Council believes that "provoked by man -made crises of migrants form preconditions not only for changing borders, but also for the collapse of countries. " Illegal migration creates preconditions for the collapse of the country. It is a source of humanitarian and terrorist risks. This opinion was expressed by the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Mykola Patrushev at the XII International meeting of High Security in St. Petersburg.

About it reports the Russian news agency "RIA Novosti". "The flows of migrants and temporarily displaced persons provoked by man -made crises destroy the ethno -confessional balance and form the preconditions not only for the change of borders but also for the collapse of countries. Moreover, illegal migration is a great source of humanitarian risks," Patrushev said. He added that illegal migration "is closely related to terrorists, organized crime, weapons, drugs, people and human bodies.

" At the same time, Patrushev did not specify whether he implies potential threats specifically for Russia. The Moscow Times Internet editions provide Rosstat data, according to which at least 3. 5 million migrants have been living in Russia since 2015. In the next 20 years, according to Rosstat, their numbers will increase to 8. 5 million. These indicators should be covered by about 40% of natural losses, which, according to Russian demographers, will be 12. 7 million by 2046.
