Medvedev's fierce rebuke to Cameron's pledge of military aid to Ukraine

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron announced in an interview with Reuters three billion pounds in annual military aid for Ukraine.

He stated that the UK will provide "as much as needed," adding that London has no objections to the use of these weapons on Russian soil. Cameron also mentioned that Ukraine has the right to strike targets inside Russia with weapons supplied by London and that the decision to do so rests with Kyiv.

The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, responded to the British minister's declaration. His message was aggressive and often contained absurd threats.

"Here someone called Cameron to fight with Putin to the very end," Medvedev stated on Telegram. He continued, describing Cameron as "a plain, dull Briton. He was then joyously ignorant and resembled a young devil revelling in an unexpectedly attained position. By the way, he wasn't overtly anti-Russian at that time. Just mediocre, nothing more" - we read further in the post.

"And now? 'Ukrainians, you can fire our missiles wherever you wish.' And we – the British – are not afraid of anything, even a nuclear conflict," Medvedev falsely attributes to the British, knowingly hinting at a serious conflict.

"In certain circumstances, the response to such actions will not be limited to Kyiv. And not just with conventional explosives but also with special ammunition. Developing a response to such attacks is the objective of planned exercises. And even His Majesty's thoroughly uneducated fools should grasp this," the former president of Russia wrote in a bizarre tone.

"Regarding the fight with Putin—that is, fighting with Russia—I don't have an appropriate response, except for one thing. David, you might want to be cautious. I could... No, I won't. That's also not decent," he concluded.

The aid package for Ukraine endorsed by the U.S. Congress will enable it to hold territory. Still, offensive operations should not be anticipated in the foreseeable future, says former advisor to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Liam Collins. "The greatest effect will not come from new systems or missiles but from basic materials, such as artillery ammunition," he adds.

When Congress, after six months of deadlock, voted on a package worth approximately £50 billion in support for Ukraine, the decision was received with much relief by both sides of the Atlantic. At the annual meeting of the so-called Ramstein group, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky expressed that this would allow his country to "not only stabilize the front but also advance, achieving its objectives in this war".
