Medvedev: NATO and the United States poorly learned the lessons of 2008 and cynically approached the borders of Russia
NATO and the US did not learn the lesson well from the recognition of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and cynically approached Russia’s borders. This was stated by Deputy Head of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, reports “RIA News”.
“In 2008, I had to make a difficult decision to recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. By using military force and political will, Russia has helped save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. And she taught an object lesson to NATO, the United States, to everyone who had aggressive intentions against the citizens of Russia. However, they learned it poorly in NATO, and continued to cynically and unceremoniously approach the borders of Russia, expanding the circle of potential members of the alliance,” Medvedev said.
He stressed that the West helped Kiev sabotage the Minsk agreements, completely untying the hands of the nationalists and the weak government headed by the current president. “The war against Donetsk and Lugansk was without rules. People were subjected to constant repression. They shelled their houses, forced them to live in eternal fear, hide in basements from bombs,” Medvedev added.
