'Should anything of the kind happen,' Medvedev said a doomsday would be 'very quick and tough, immediately.'
The deputy chairman of Russia's defense council on Sunday said there will be a swift, hard action in a doomsday for Ukraine if Crimean is attacked. Dmitry Medvedev made his threat in a statement to Russian state media TASS.
Russia has threatened a"doomsday" scenario for Ukraine if Crimea is attacked. Here, Russian Yars intercontinental ballistic missile launchers parade through Red Square during the Victory Day military parade in central Moscow on May 9, 2022.Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 and annexed the Ukrainian region that year. Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine is entering its 21st week, and some of the heaviest fighting recently has been in eastern Ukraine, close to Crimea.
Medvedev's"doomsday" remark was likely sparked by Ukrainian Minister of defense Vadym Skibitskyi on Saturday saying that Russian military facilities in the occupied Crimea are on the target list to strike by Ukrainian troops.
