The former president has vowed retribution for recent Ukrainian attacks
Russia will โinevitablyโ respond to recent Ukrainian attacks on its territory despite continuing diplomatic efforts to reach a peaceful settlement of the conflict, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated on Tuesday.
His comments follow suspected acts of Ukrainian sabotage on railways in Russia and drone strikes on multiple Russian airfields at the weekend. Despite this, Russian officials traveled to Istanbul on Monday for another round of direct negotiations with Ukrainian representatives.
In a social media post, Medvedev addressed domestic calls for a more forceful military response, declaring that Russian retaliation was โinevitable.โ
โOur army is on an active offensive and will continue its push forward. Everything that needs to be blown up will be, and those who need to be eliminated will be,โ he wrote.
Russian retaliation โinevitableโ โ Medvedev https://t.co/jtpLXlLFVy
