Putin Ally Vows Revenge on the West
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has condemned further sanctions imposed on Moscow and vowed a tough response.
The deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, who was head of state between 2008 and 2012, reacted angrily to a new swathe of U.S. measures punishing Russia. They came on the second anniversary of its full-scale invasion and following the death in prison of opposition politician Alexei Navalny.
“We have become accustomed to their endless limitations and have learned to live with them,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram after the Biden administration’s announcement of sanctions for over 500 Russian targets.
However, Medvedev said the bans “are no longer directed against the authorities or businesses in the country.” He added that, regarding the West, “let them all suffer there. We all just need to remember this and take revenge on them where we can.”
His post described creating ructions for the West economically and undermining its political system, without referring to the nuclear threats against Ukraine’s allies that he has made numerous times recently.
This is a developing story and will be updated with further information.
