This from the Guardian:
Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and long-time ally of Vladimir Putin, reacted yesterday to news of Finland and Sweden moving closer to seeking Nato membership. He posted to Telegram:
In the context of the proxy war unleashed by western countries with Russia, I want to articulate once again very clearly things that are already so obvious to all reasonable people.
1. The pumping of Ukraine by Nato countries with weapons, the training of its troops to use western equipment, the dispatch of mercenaries and the conduct of exercises by the countries of the alliance near our borders increase the likelihood of a direct and open conflict between Nato and Russia instead of their “war by proxy”.
2. Such a conflict always has the risk of turning into a full-fledged nuclear war.
3. This will be a catastrophic scenario for everyone.
He finished by urging the west “do not lie to yourself and others” and “do not choke on your own saliva in the paroxysms of Russophobia!”
