Medvedev threatened Ukraine with retaliation with any weapon in case of an attack on Crimea

In the event of an attack on Crimea, Ukraine can be hit with weapons of any type, said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.

He wrote about this on his Twitter page.

He recalled that international law must respect the will of the people. “Crimea is Russia. The attack on Crimea is an attack on Russia and an escalation of the conflict. The Ukrainian gang of drug addicts must understand that these attacks will be followed by inevitable retribution with the use of any weapon,” he threatened.

Before that, Medvedev spoke about strikes against Ukraine in the event of an attack on Crimea in a conversation with military commander Nadana Friedrichson.

Earlier, the United States authorities did not prohibit the Ukrainian authorities from using long-range projectiles, which are included in the supply of military aid, for strikes on Crimea. Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that the disposal of the supplied ammunition lies strictly at the discretion of the Ukrainian authorities.
