​Peter Stano, a spokesman for European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, called Russian Security Council Vice President Dmitry Medvedev an “eternal number two” on Thursday and recommended he leave. to the doctor, reports the EFE agency, quoted by Agerpres.

“Normally we don’t comment on all the strange statements, especially from people who are in desperate need of attention, especially if they are the eternal number two in something,” Stano said at the European Commission’s daily press conference when asked about recent statements by Dmitry Medvedev, the former president and the Prime Minister of Russia.

Stano, who was wearing a T-shirt in support of Ukraine on Thursday, thought it was “good” that Medvedev “publicly shares with us diagnoses about his mental state.”

“The only thing we can say that we can recommend is psychological counseling and care, and I’m not sure that the Russian state, with the billions it has wasted on this illegal war against Ukraine, can now afford to invest anything in social and medical care for his people,” he commented.

Medvedev said on Wednesday in his Telegram channel that “attempts to push Russia back to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing: a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state.”

Last Sunday, he again threatened the West with Russia’s nuclear weapons, despite the victory that Moscow’s forces had just won at Avdiivka.

Borrell’s spokesman recalled that the bloc’s foreign ministers made it “very clear” on Monday, when they met in Brussels for their monthly meeting, that the EU “is committed to Ukraine continuing its legitimate defense against aggression, especially now that we are approaching two years”. since the beginning of a full-scale invasion.”

Stano assured that Borrell and the participating countries “are doing everything in their power to supply Ukraine more and faster, not only as much as needed, but also everything that is needed”, from ammunition to military equipment, so that Kyiv can defeat the aggressor. .
