MOSCOW, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday any British soldiers training Ukrainian troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets for Russian forces, as would German factories producing Taurus missiles should they supply Kyiv.

Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council and has become an increasingly hawkish and anti-Western figure in Russian politics, said such activities by the West were bringing World War Three closer.





In a post on Telegram, Medvedev first directed his ire towards recently appointed British Defence Minister Grant Shapps, who said in a newspaper interview that London wants to deploy military instructors to Ukraine, in addition to training Ukrainian armed forces in Britain or other Western countries as at present.

&quot This will) turn their instructors into a legal target for our armed forces ... understanding perfectly well that they will be ruthlessly destroyed. And not as mercenaries, but namely as British NATO specialists," Medvedev wrote on Telegram.

3. I think is Putin is about done........................

CSTO is losing members and Armenia is truly pissed at Putin because he "promised" to protect them. The two pro-Russia dictators in NATO I'm pretty sure will not offend NATO.

I believe Putin's Navy is leaving around Crimea.

6. We are watching Putin fail to subdue his much smaller neighbor, and ye he wants to threaten Germany

the UK? The bully ain't near as big as he once seemed. He must be on dope.

Putin could bring all of this mess to a screeching halt by giving up his planned grand theft and taking his little army back to the motherland and take his frustrations out on other Russians.

Putin's day is coming. Someone is liable to drop a house on him and steal his ruby slippers.
