Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. File photoMOSCOW, Apr 4Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev commented on the expulsions of Russian diplomats, saying that the response would be symmetrical and destructive for bilateral relations. «There are international customs that are meaningless by nature and useless They don't. Here is the expulsion of diplomats, for example, as a means of putting pressure on another country. How many times has it happened lately. And here it is again. Crazy Poles expel 45 Russian diplomats, zealous Germans — 40, sophisticated French — 30. Suffering from crazy phantom pains the Balts recalled their ambassadors. Who is more?» he wrote in his Telegram channel. Medvedev added that the response would be devastating. «And everyone knows the answer: it will be symmetrical and destructive for bilateral relations. Who was punished? Of course, first of all, their own. We need to look for a new job for them. What did they feel in Russia? Nothing,» he believes. The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council called such actions continued pressure on Russia.» Just a cheap continuation of the schizoid campaign to put pressure on our country, which will not change anything. Although no. If this continues, it’s just right, as I wrote back on February 26, to hang barn locks on Western embassies. It will be cheaper for everyone. And then certainly consider each other only as a weapon optics,» Medvedev noted. years
