ArmInfo. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev considers the Russian leader's statement on the possibility of supplying weapons to third countries in confrontation with Western countries a significant change.
Medvedev noted that on June 5, the Russian president for the first time allowed the sending of Russian weapons to regions that are at war with states that supply weapons to Ukraine.
"In other words, to those forces that are in conflict with America and NATO countries. This is a very significant change in our foreign policy," the Russian official noted.
According to him, Western countries are convinced that they can transfer any weapons to Ukraine, that is, to the enemy of the Russian Federation, but other countries should not help Russia. "Now let the United States and its allies feel the direct use of Russian weapons by third parties. These parties or regions are deliberately not named, but they could be anyone who considers Pindostan and its comrades their enemies. Regardless of their political convictions and international recognition. Their enemy is the United States, which means they are our friends," Medvedev added. In conclusion, he wished that the use of Russian weapons by the yet unnamed "regions" would be as destructive as possible for them and the enemies of the Russian Federation. "And we will rejoice at their successful strikes with our weapons against our common enemies," the politician summed up. Notably, on June 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a conversation with the heads of the largest international news agencies on the sidelines of the SPIEF, admitted the possibility of sending weapons to those regions that are fighting against the countries that supply weapons to Ukraine. However, he did not specify which regions he was talking about.
