Medvedev warns of war over arrests as russia faces heavy losses
Dmitry Medvedev, former President of the Russian Federation and currently Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, is known for threatening Western countries with potential war. Now, he has admitted that the arrest of officials from other countries could be a cause for declaring war.
Many pieces of information provided by Russian state media or Kremlin officials are likely not true. Such reports may be elements of an information war by the Russian Federation.
The former President of Russia has repeatedly accused the USA and European countries in recent months of claiming the right to "send any weapon to Ukraine." In contrast, "all other countries cannot help Russia."
Medvedev explained it as if a hostile country had attacked Russia. Yet it is Russia behind the invasion of Ukraine.
Now, he delivered his speech at the International Legal Forum (SPBILF). The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia admitted that the arrest of officials from other countries could be a cause for declaring war.
This was his reaction to the fact that on 25 June, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for former Defence Minister and Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Sergey Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov.
Executing an illegal and invalid decision on arresting the officials of a specific country may serve as a declaration of war - said Medvedev at the plenary session of the International Legal Forum in St. Petersburg.
Massive losses for Russia in the war
The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for nearly two and a half years. How many lives has it claimed during this time? Estimates vary depending on the source, but tens or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers have certainly died in the war.
The American newspaper "The New York Times," citing data from NATO and Western intelligence, reports that May of this year was particularly bloody. During this month, Russia supposedly suffered massive losses. Each day, 1,000 Russian soldiers were said to have died or been injured, claims the newspaper.
