Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has released a strongly-worded statement targeting European countries over their Ukraine support. In a Telegram post, Medvedev, who now holds a senior position in Russia’s government, outlined potential measures aimed at European nations that have imposed restrictions on Russia.
The message detailed intentions to target European economic sectors, particularly energy, industry, and transportation systems. Medvedev suggested Russia would seek to create economic disruptions and social instability in European countries, including through media influence operations.
His statement represents an escalation in rhetoric amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Western nations over the Ukraine conflict. The declaration raises questions about potential impacts on European-Russian relations and Western support for Ukraine.
