The former Russian president Dimitri Medvedev launched a harsh warning this Friday to the citizens of the European Union by stating that "dreams of peace are over" after the impact, in the early hours of this morning, of a drone on Romanian territory, an attack attributed to Moscow that left two injured. The leader also pointed out that Europeans "already know who to ask" if they wish to demand accountability, in direct allusion to the community leaders.
Medvedev, current vice-president of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and known for his incendiary messages on social networks, avoided explicitly confirming Russian involvement in the incident, but stressed that episodes like the one recorded in the Romanian city of Galati are a consequence of the "unilateral" decision of the European authorities to "join the war with Russia".
"Stay vigilant and don't be surprised by anything," Medvedev stated, before reiterating that "dreams of peace are over" and addressing the population of the community bloc again. "But you already know who to ask why," he concluded, implicitly holding the EU leaders responsible.
For now, Medvedev is the only high-ranking Russian official to have spoken out about an incident considered extremely serious, as it is the first time that injuries have been recorded from the impact of a drone involved in the war in Ukraine on a member state of the European Union and, at the same time, an ally of NATO.
The Kremlin spokesman, Dimitri Peskov, indicated this Friday that President Vladimir Putin will appear later in the day, at a time yet to be specified, to address, presumably, what happened in Galati and the escalation of tension resulting from this attack.
