Ukraine War Dergest: Kyiv claims an underwater strike on Kerch Bridge; Putin’s ally warns against Russian “punishment” after a Ukrainian raid | World News

By Ivor Bennett, Moscow correspondent

Dmitry Medvedev is the first senior Russian official to comment on Sunday’s drone attack, and his words are predictable.

“The remuneration is inevitable,” he warned on Telegram, adding: “Everything that must be exploded will be exploded, and those that must be eliminated will be.”

The former Russian leader, who was considered modernizing during his 2008-2012 presidency, is now assistant to the Security Council of Russia, where he reinvented himself as the most bellicist Durliner of Vladimir Putin, regularly threatening the nuclear apocalypse to Ukraine and its Western allies.

Although often bizarre and sometimes bordering on the absurd, his comments offer an overview of the more extreme thought in the direction of the Kremlin.

In this case, it is a clear warning that Russia will retaliate.

The most interesting thing about his words, however, is the duration of the duration to type them.

Normally, the fury flows with your fingertips tirelessly.

But here it took almost 48 hours to respond to something that caused the big titles of the world.

And at the time of his post, there was still no word from the Kremlin. Extraordinary.

I think it is a clear sign that Moscow does not want to draw attention to what was a humiliating attack. The more they commented, the more important it becomes.

It may also be because they are always to find out how to react.

Medvedev declares what we already knew – that there will be a response at some point.

But we still don’t know what it will be, nor when it comes.

And maybe they don’t do it either.
