"As for these scumbags - I can't call them any other name - you can characterize them in different ways. The only question is what to do with them. They should simply be exterminated like rats and not even taken into captivity," Medvedev remarked.
"The responsibility for these [sabotage attacks] lies with the Kiev regime, and ultimately with its sponsors across the ocean, that is, Washington and the European Union countries, along with states such as the UK and others that have joined in. This is their direct and immediate responsibility," Medvedev stressed.
"Some of the alliances that are being formed are almost unfriendly to countries in this region, at least that's how we view alliances such as QUAD, AUKUS, and some others related to the creation of partnerships with extra-regional players, because NATO is getting involved here," the politician noted.
"The issue of military-technical cooperation is still on the table - we are actively working on it - and despite the fact that a large part of our efforts at the moment is focused on achieving the goals of a special military operation, we nevertheless continue cooperation in this sphere with friendly countries as well," the top politician said.
