Medvedev’s explosive moment in front of Putin, unleashes ‘they thought we’d beg for mercy!’ message

Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev have delivered a fiery message to Ukraine and its Western backers as Moscow presses ahead with its military campaign. Putin accused Kyiv of increasingly “brutal” attacks and declared that all of Russia stands behind troops fighting on the front. Medvedev went further, predicting Moscow would seize more Ukrainian territory while launching an extraordinary attack on European leaders. He also claimed unprecedented Western sanctions had failed to break Russia, with Moscow finding alternative economic partners. The remarks come amid reports detailing NATO's preparations for a potential confrontation with Russia.
