Responding to statements by British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly that Ukraine had the “right to project force beyond its borders,” i.e., attack Russia, former Russian President, and now Vice Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that this represented an “undeclared war” against Russia and that therefore British officials became “a legitimate military target.”
“The goofy officials of the U.K., our eternal enemy, should remember that within the framework of the universally accepted international law which regulates modern warfare, including The Hague and Geneva Conventions with their additional protocols, their state can also be qualified as being at war,” Medvedev said.
