Medvedev torches EU leadership in explosive interview: 'Europe has failed to defeat Russia in...'

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has unleashed a blistering attack on European Union leaders in a new interview, claiming that Europe has “failed to defeat Russia” and has instead inflicted deep economic and political damage on itself. Medvedev accused EU governments of blindly following Washington’s lead on sanctions and military aid to Kyiv, arguing that these policies have backfired by weakening Europe’s industrial base, driving up energy costs, and eroding public trust in traditional parties. He mocked what he called the “strategic incompetence” of Brussels and major European capitals, insisting that Russia has adapted to Western pressure while the EU faces internal division, social unrest, and a growing sense of war fatigue among its citizens.
