Any missile strikes that are carried out on Russian territory are unacceptable and will be thwarted, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with the Al Arabiya TV channel, reported TASS on Nov. 27. “It is absolutely clear that strikes are unacceptable. Any strikes will be thwarted.... But undoubtedly, what is happening now crosses all red lines,” he said.
Medvedev also warned that strikes on NATO bases are possible. “If the conflict develops by the escalation scenario, it is impossible to rule out anything, because the NATO member states have effectively got fully involved in this conflict,” he said. He made this comment answering a question as to whether Russia can strike military hubs in Romania and Poland, if long-range Western-made missiles continue to be used against it.
