RT covered a post on Telegram on Dec. 11 by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, who warned that Moscow’s “enemy has dug in not only in the Kiev province…. It’s in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and a whole host of other contemporary Nazi-sworn places. Therefore, we are increasing the production of the most powerful means of destruction. Including those based on new principles.” (https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/230 )

Russia’s state defense orders would increase by almost 50% next year, he said, adding that special emphasis would be put on artillery and missile systems.”
