Russia‘s Escalating rhetoric: Medvedev‘s Threats and EU Sanctions
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has issued a series of inflammatory statements targeting Ukraine and European nations. Following the European Union’s agreement on a package of 18 sanctions against Russia, Medvedev dismissed their impact, asserting that Russia’s economy would endure and the “defeat of the Bandera regime” would continue. He further threatened military action against “so-called Ukrainian objects,including Kiev.”
Medvedev’s rhetoric extended to a broad condemnation of European countries, including the Baltic states, Finland, Poland, the United kingdom, Germany, and France, labeling them as “creepy countries” whose leaders are “not at peace of mind.” He advocated for the preservation of “sneaky Russophobia” and the cultivation of hatred towards perceived enemies,stating that “hate is the most critically important weapon.”
The Russian politician also directed insults at Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, referring to her as a “creepy old woman” and questioning her understanding of the “Russian War Machine.”
Andriy Kovalenko, head of the National Security and Defense Council’s Center for Countering Disinformation, commented on Medvedev’s statements, interpreting them as threats to civilians in Ukraine. Kovalenko suggested that an “Iranian scenario with a later voluntary separation of certain regions from Russia with the Turk community” might be the ultimate outcome.
