Medvedev: Sending UK troops to Ukraine will mean declaring war against Russia
Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Head of the Security Council of Russia has said, sending British troops to Ukraine will be the same as declaring war against Russia.
Speaking about the visit of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to Ukraine, the former Russian president has reminded that the British leader has come to show support for Ukraine, a few days after Kyiv attacked the Russian city of Belgorod with cluster bombs. "What would the Western public say if the British delegation was attacked with cluster bombs in the center of Kyiv as happened to the citizens of our Belgorod?" has questioned Medvedev. Medvedev, who served as Russia's president from 2008 to 2012, has called Britain "rude" and Russia's "eternal enemy".
