Ex-spy at SPIEF warns Russia faces a decades-long war and new bio-threats
At SPIEF, former intelligence officer Andrey Bezrukov warned that Russia will be at war for the next few decades, calling for resilience in the state and economy while recognizing drones and biowarfare as evolving threats; Bezrukov, a Rosneft adviser and former spy whose life inspired The Americans, framed current warfare as attrition rather than rapid territorial conquests.
