The ex-president responded to Paris describing the Belgorod carnage as Ukrainian “self-defense”
The French Foreign Ministry has justified Russia’s historic dislike of France by declaring the Ukrainian massacre of civilians in Belgorod to be self-defense, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev claimed on Wednesday.
Ukrainian artillery struck the central square of the Russian city with cluster bombs on Saturday, injuring over 100 civilians and killing 25, including children. Asked about it on Wednesday morning, a spokesman of the Foreign Ministry in Paris said that Ukraine was “acting in self-defense” while Russia was “an aggressor state” responsible for any “human tragedies that accompany” the conflict.
“We never liked the French,” Medvedev said in a Telegram post. “The frogs fought a war against us,” he added, referring to Napoleon Bonaparte’s ill-fated 1812 invasion.
“Now we are convinced of this. The French Foreign Ministry said that the strike on Belgorod using cluster munitions was ‘self-defense’,” he added. “Scum. Bastards. Freaks.”
The French response to the Belgorod massacre echoed the official position of the European Union, which has fully endorsed Kiev.
“In general, Ukraine has the legal right to defend itself,” EU foreign policy spokesman Peter Stano said on Wednesday. “Regarding the specific incident in Belgorod, no information that comes from Russia can be considered trustworthy.”
Although Kiev’s forces have struck Russia’s border regions for months, the December 30 attack on Belgorod was the worst of its kind over the course of the conflict. Moscow has accused the US and the UK of helping plan the attack, while a security source told RT that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky personally ordered the massacre.
Russia has responded with drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian military industry facilities, repair shops and ammunition warehouses, including depots loaded with weapons donated to Kiev by the West.
Medvedev currently serves as President Vladimir Putin’s deputy on the national Security Council. Since the Ukraine conflict escalated in February 2022, the former president (2008-2012) and prime minister of Russia (2012-2020) has emerged as a hard-line critic of Kiev and the West, compared to the more moderate rhetoric coming from the Kremlin.

He’s not hardline, he’s blowhard. He’s just playing the Trump game of talking bigly.
Gonna drop nukes any day…
Stupid is as stupid does, what a moron you are.
Well the Russians have killed over 700000 Ukies, and have their industry ramped up to make more $600 howitzer shells. America on the other hand makes $7000 howitzer shells, and all its military talks about in the news are chicks with dicks and bitches who get a free abortion because they fucked one too many niggers.
Doesn’t sound to me like Medvedev is blowing any how air at all.
But Ukraine is a fake country, right? Ukrainians are Russians. Why is dead Russians or Ukrainians a good thing?
Show me where in the SMO that lots of dead white people was a goal.
Maybe Western Ukraine could be considered ethnically Russian. But, the Eastern half is a grab bag of Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Belorussians, and Romanians.
Crocodile Dundee, you’ve got our planet upside-down.
Wish he was Our blowhard.
How’s that big beautiful wall working out?
Well, the parts where it was upgraded or added to during his administration are working beautifully.
Actually land mines and machine gun nests would be more effective. Inquire about the 100000+ Ukies who died in their vaunted Spring “Counter Offensive”.
Medvedev threatened nukes again on his telegram today.
Any day now….
Mais oui!
This doesn’t make sense. Cause in the First and Second World Wars France and Russia were allies against the Germans.
Mon oui, you invade Russia just one time and they are butt-hurt about it forever.
Ever watch professional wrestling. They interview the fighters that talks shit about the other fighters, make ugly faces and growl with gnashing of teeth and all. Then the fighters get on the bus together, drink beer and drive to the next show. Same shit.
Fake and gay war.
Medvedev does have a way with words…..
medvedev got a good start but he should have finished by the calling them vile pusillanimous conceited pompous cunts. so much for the elite.
the french people themselves have done well lately with rioting against the aforementioned feces. on the other hand, they voted for piece of crap who governs that god forsaken country.
And the rotten-toothed faggot, commie cuckolded English are even worse than that…
