Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated today, Saturday, that "Moscow will launch further strikes on Ukrainian ports in response to attacks carried out by Kyiv on Russian ships in the Black Sea," threatening to cause "an environmental disaster for Ukraine."
Medvedev remarked via the Telegram app: "The scoundrels and degenerates understand only the language of cruelty and strength; it is clear that the strikes on Odesa, Izmail, and other places were not enough for them." He added, "If the scum of Kyiv want to create an environmental disaster in the Black Sea, they should see an environmental disaster on part of their territory."
Medvedev's statements come after attacks by Ukrainian drones on a Russian warship at the port of Novorossiysk and on an oil tanker near the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
