Russia's Security Council announced it has updated its national security and information security doctrines through 2020, a move that brings the two into line with Russia's recently updated military doctrine. The updates are partly in response to "the developments of the Arab Spring, in Syria and Iraq, [and] the situation in and around Ukraine," Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said. Petrushev penned an article explaining the changes to be published in May 6 edition of Kraznaya Zvezda, the Ministry of Defense's official newspaper.
