Russia's intelligence chief says Western spies are seeking to break up the country and singled out British agents as the most intrusive.
Nikolay Patrushev said highly trained British agents are putting their noses into Russian politics in a bid to influence the outcome of parliamentary and presidential elections.

This war is being waged by efficient well armed assassins that don't resemble some kind of amateur terrorists, they have silenced weapons and intelligence information available only to major spy agencies.

And there is the difficult part. Proving CIA assets or other intellegence agencies are working against your country in order to force governmental change is no easy task. I dont know if simple rearmament will solve the problem, but you are right, the last thing needed here is reactionary policies and knee jerk decisions.
Quite honestly, is anyone surprised that Western intelligence agencies are beginning to focus on Russia again? What with the tub-thumping, bullying of former Soviet or Soviet-dominated states (now part of NATO and/or the EU) and the flights of nuclear bombers around Western airspace, what else can the West do? Sitting back and letting Russia do these things is unacceptable - appeasing them will only make them more aggressive, as we discovered (far too late) with Hitler. The West has to respond, and nations like Britain - whose armed forces, superb as they are, are too small to face Russia head-to-head - are reverting to the age old spy games.
I think the Russian claims are overhyped (singling out the UK is surely something to do with the ongoing dispute over the Litvinenko murder). I don't think British, Turkish or American intelligence agents are planning to seriously 'dismantle' Russia.

are u aware that NATO camofluage uniforms and Milan ATGMs ans Stingers have been found by russian forces during chechen war
Russia action is a reaction to the Western Bullying and intimadation it has faced
Complete BS. no Stingers have been found in Chechnya, the only MANADS used by the muj were bought from the oh do corrupt Russian Army Units in Chechnya. Milans haven't been used in Chechnya either. NATO uniforms maybe, but they can be purchased from a multitude of civilian shops
Not only were Stingers from the Afghan war used in Chechnya, but the United States has unwisely given Stinger missiles to nations such as Saudi Arabia

In the case of the Chechens, there is some evidence to indicate that the Stingers once used in Afghanistan found their way to Chechnya

Russia is a bully as well. As soon as a country wants to leave the RUssian spehere of influence they attempt to use covert emans to regain control, such as trying to murder the Ukrainian President.

most ukrianians are orhtodox christians and have consider Rus as a brother , yushochenko was a agent of US sponsored color revlution
the only nation Russia is known to bully is Estonia , particularly because of sympahty for estonian nazi soldiers
any ways the Milan ATGM info will come in some days , i am tired its midnight in india
AS I said, there were no stingers in Chechnya, complete BS.
nce the CIA conducted its operations in Afghanistan through the Pakistani government and secret police, it is difficult to document who received training and support directly from the United States, and who was trained by U.S.-backed interests but presumably without the direct knowledge of the United States. The U.S. government has denied any contact or support for Osama bin Laden, for example, and since no direct evidence has surfaced linking bin Laden directly with the CIA, the U.S. government has maintained this (highly unlikely) position. But what cannot be refuted is the use of U.S.-produced Stinger missiles in Chechnya, missiles from the conflict in Afghanistan. Not only were Stingers from the Afghan war used in Chechnya

the border with Georgia... serves as the main conduit for mercenaries and illegal shipments of weapons and ammunition to Chechnya. The Georgian border is also the so-called 'point of interference': American CIA and other foreign intelligence services are heavily involved in Chechnya with Georgia serving as their base of operations. This is how an American-made anti-aircraft radar appeared in Chechnya along with a number of American-made Stinger portable anti-aircraft surface-to-air missile systems."

The Clinton administration followed up by providing strong support to the KLA, even though it was known that the KLA supported the Muslim mujahadeen. Despite that knowledge, then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had the KLA removed from the State Department list of terrorists. This action paved the way for the United States to provide the KLA with needed logistical support. At the same time, the KLA also received support from Iran and Usama bin Laden, along with 'Islamic holy warriors' who were jihad veterans from Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan. Swiss journalist Richard Labeviere, in his book, 'Dollars for Terror,' said that the international Islamic networks linked to bin Laden received help from U.S. intelligence community. Indeed, Chechen sources claim that U.S. intelligence also aided them in their opposition to Russia. Given that U.S. policy in the post-Cold War period has not only been anti-Russian but anti-Iranian, the United States worked closely with Pakistan's predominantly Sunni Inter-Services Intelligence organization. Through ISI, the United States recruited Sunni mujahadeen by staging them in Chechnya to fight in Bosnia and later in Kosovo

there is no proof at all.
LOL right of course they do. Russia has a history of stuffing up the Ukrainian people. Just look at WWII, they welcomed the NAzi's after Russia had killed millions of them through famine. Just one example.
What, couldn't find any credible sources through a quick google.
As Stratfor notes, the British connection to the Chechen separatists goes farther back. "During the first Chechen war -- from 1994 to 1996 -- retired U.K. special forces officers trained British Muslim recruits in British territory to fight in Chechnya," Stratfor claims, echoing reports out of Russia. "Some militants who attended that training and were later captured told the Russian government."

"Retired UK special forces officers..." not active ones. Retired spec ops troops do all kinds of things when they leave the armed forces, including working for private security companies or training others. There is no proof (or even allegations) in that article that the British government is behind any of this.
