The former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said there is many other sources behind the drone incursions and warned that Europeans should be feeling the “danger of war.”
Medvedev said, “The causes of this panic around ‘Russian drones‘ could be any of the listed reasons or a combination of them. [But] that’s not the main thing.
“The main thing is that the short-sighted Europeans should feel on their own skin what the danger of war is. So that they fear and tremble like stupid animals in a herd being driven to the slaughter. So that they crap themselves with fear.”
