He claims that Western leaders have “sick, very outdated idea of their own superiority” and Moscow has to “respond in full.”
Medvedev said, “Let me remind you that our president has stated unequivocally: Russia is not going to fight NATO or ‘attack Europe.’
“Statements by Western politicians on this topic are complete nonsense.
I will add that this nonsense is being deliberately thrown into the information field in order to destabilise an already difficult situation.
“This is another flank of the West’s open war against us.
He added, “What is happening today is a proxy war, but in fact, a fully-fledged war — launches of Western missiles, information from satellites [supplied to Ukraine], sanctions packages, loud statements about the militarisation of Europe.”
Taking aim at Ukraine he said the country has to be demilitarised adding this is “not a punishment but a chance to stop being a pawn in someone else’s bloody geopolitical games.”
