Harsh statements from Putin’s most trusted name

Medvedev, vice president of the Russian Security Council, made a statement on his official Twitter account, using harsh expressions.

“The British Foreign Secretary has cleverly stated that Ukraine ‘has the legitimate right to use force beyond its borders to undermine Russia’s capabilities,'” Medvedev tweeted. According to Cleverly, legitimate military targets beyond Ukraine’s borders are part of self-defense. “The idiotic authorities of our arch-enemy Great Britain must not forget that their own states can also be described as at war under the universally accepted international law governing modern warfare, including the Hague and Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols,” said. .

THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED A TARGET

Emphasizing that with this understanding, British military and state officials could also be legitimately targeted by Russia, Medvedev said: “Today, the UK, as an ally of Ukraine, provides it with similar military equipment, experts and assistance and is actually waging an undeclared war against Russia. In this case, any public official, military or civilian, who facilitates the war can be considered a legitimate military target.
