Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has accused European leaders of seeking to escalate the war in Ukraine after Donald Trump’s re-election.
In a post to Telegram, Medvedev claimed their goal was to “drive the conflict with Russia into an irreversible phase”.
He also warned Western politicians against sending long-range missiles to Ukraine to fire at targets inside Russia, saying they would not be “capable of changing anything significantly”.
“The risk of the conflict escalating into the most dangerous stage is greatly increased by cruise missile strikes,” he said.
Medvedev went on to accuse European leaders of looking to “drag the war onto their territory”.
