Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chair of Russia’s powerful Security Council, has warned European leaders that drones would continue to stray into their countries and prevent their populations from sleeping peacefully.
Medvedev spoke out on Friday after NATO accused Moscow of reckless behaviour and pledged to “defend every inch of Allied territory” after Romania said a Russian drone had crashed into an apartment block in the alliance member state during an attack on neighbouring Ukraine.
Medvedev said it still needed to be ascertained which country the drone belonged to, but said that Europe’s “impotent” leaders should stop expressing outrage over the incident since they were directly participating in a war against Russia.
“Let them get ready: this will continue to happen,” Medvedev said in a statement. “There is a war going on! And the citizens of EU states, as the population of the belligerent countries, will not be able to sleep peacefully.”
