People in Russia are human too. A lot of those who go into "national security" type jobs start out with their heart in the right place. I can't imagine what it is like to slowly realise that, actually, you're the bad ones.
It's a matter of priorities. An FSB official will see world hunger as an opportunity, and will think of this as "so these people completely unrelated to us don't want to go hungry, what can they give us in return?"
This is since during most of the contemporary history of Russia, other countries saw a lot of different opportunities here and very few people.
It reads like a lore-dump pickup in a video game. The sort of thing you would find in plain sight in Call of Duty or similar. Maybe COD is more realistic than i thought...
