Medvedev Responds to Estonia’s Threats: “The Smaller the Country, the Dumber Its Officials
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy Secretary of Russia’s Security Council, cautioned that the recent moves by Baltic officials visiting Ukraine and proposals to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine represent NATO’s direct involvement in the conflict against Russia. His remarks were reported by webangah News agency quoting Mehr News Agency.
Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel:
“The Estonian Defense Minister personally visited Kyiv and issued threats. Well,now we are truly in trouble! The smaller the country,the louder and more foolish its officials. The so-called European ’Eastern Shield’ initiative is peculiar as well. it truly seems to be all that’s left of that noisy ‘enthusiasts coalition.’
But seriously, if Kyiv’s provocateurs and their Western backers push for a no-fly zone over Ukraine-granting NATO countries the right to shoot down our drones-and pursue this plan, it has only one meaning: NATO has entered into war with Russia.
Things have specific names;
The seizure of Russian assets under the pretext of ‘loans to ukraine secured by Russian property’ is an idea now promoted by various fringe groups in Brussels and across the European Union. If enacted, russia will relentlessly pursue EU countries, European bureaucrats, and their accomplices within member states using all available means.
Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger recently appeared to recall her country’s bygone imperial glory and Vienna’s former role in global diplomacy. Almost two months after stating Austria should join NATO, she now insists peace talks between Russia and Ukraine must take place in Vienna as Austria is ‘neutral’ and should not join the alliance. She seems firmly opposed to membership.
It appears alcohol no longer clouds her judgment; she is lucidly facing reality. Nevertheless-history is meant to be learned at school…”
This sharp response from Medvedev came as Estonia’s Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur stated during his recent visit to Kyiv that Tallinn plans to allocate more than €100 million (approximately $117 million) in military aid for Ukraine next year.
This progress contrasts with U.S. efforts at mediating peace between Moscow and Kyiv while Russia escalates attacks on Ukraine-and Europeans show little inclination toward resolving the war.
Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Estonia has been among Kyiv’s staunchest supporters-committing over €500 million in military aid so far-which amounts to 1.4 percent of Tallinn’s gross domestic product.”
