Speaking virtually today to the 11th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev delivered a forceful message. The forum’s theme was “Foundations of the International Legal Order vs the `Rules-Based Order:’ The Future of International Law.”
As reported by TASS, Medvedev explained that “today, we carry out a special military operation to protect our sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of millions of people.” It is obvious, he said, “that a full-scale hybrid war is being waged against our country. American and European benefactors pump our enemies with lethal weapons of all kinds; they encourage terror in Russia’s border regions; they carry out sabotage and political assassinations.”
