Medvedev Says Russia Should Drop Its ‘Tolerant Attitude’ Towards Ukraine’s EU Drive

Medvedev Says Russia Should Drop Its ‘Tolerant Attitude’ Towards Ukraine’s EU Drive

Published by Sam Flores

MOSCOW, April 3 (Reuters) – ⁠Dmitry ⁠Medvedev, deputy chairman ⁠of Russia’s powerful Security Council, ​said on Friday that Moscow should ‌drop its “tolerant attitude” ‌towards Ukraine’s possible EU ⁠membership. “The ⁠EU is no longer just an economic union. ​It can transform, and rather quickly, into a full-blown military alliance, ​one overtly hostile to Russia, and ⁠in some ⁠ways worse ⁠than NATO,” ​Medvedev said. “It’s time to drop the ​tolerant attitude ⁠toward our neighbors joining what is now a military-economic European Union.” Medvedev said that he did ⁠not believe the United States would leave the ⁠NATO military alliance but that Washington could make symbolic moves such as cutting the number of U.S. troops deployed to other NATO members. Medvedev said, though, that the obvious divisions within ⁠NATO could push the EU towards becoming more than simply an economic union.

After Putin’s Guarded Iran War Comments, Medvedev Enters The Chat

Published by Jenni Sidey

Earlier this week President Putin weighed in on America’s Iran operations, and as we detailed his comments were predictably a bit guarded. He had compared the war and the Hormuz Strait closure – and subsequent impact on global energy – to the massive widescale impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. But fundamentally he highlighted the “unpredictable” nature of the conflict in terms of where it’s headed, as Washington appears to be searching for an offramp on its terms. On Friday Dmitry Medvedev weighed in, and as expected the former Russian president and current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council was much less guarded in his assessment. He warned at a moment thousands of US Marines and Airborne troop are en route to the Middle East that if the US enters a ground war in Iran it will be another “Vietnam”. American boots on the ground so far from US shores “threatens roughly the same consequences as what happened in Vietnam,” Medvedev said as quotes in NBC and others. “When Washington intervened in a foreign country, located a thousand …
