Moscow, Aug 8 (UNI) Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday signed a bill into law allowing for the recognition of foreign and international organizations, which were founded by or with the participation of foreign government agencies, as undesirable organizations, the document, posted on the government legal portal, showed.
