The second member of Russia’s Security Council, Dmytro Medvedev, promised on Saturday that his country would take revenge for Western sanctions announced on the occasion of two years since the start of the Russian offensive on Ukraine and the death of opposition leader Oleksiy Navalny.

“Let them (Westerners) suffer there. We must remember this, if possible we must take revenge on them. They are our enemies,” the former Russian president, who is used to belligerent statements, wrote in Telegram, France Presse and Agerpres report.

Medvedev also called for secret operations on the territories of Western countries, in the context of which Russia is already regularly accused of espionage operations, influence and assassinations or attempts. Moscow systematically denies them.

It is also necessary to “carry out activities of a certain type on their territories, which cannot be talked about publicly. In war as in war,” he concluded.

Dmytro Medvedev, who was once considered a fairly liberal figure in Putin’s system, has since the beginning of the offensive on Ukraine declared himself as a particularly radical voice, regularly threatening, for example, to use nuclear weapons or invade countries that support Kyiv. .
