Quote from Medvedev: "If, as Stoltenberg hinted, NATO supplies Patriot systems along with NATO personnel to the Kyiv fanatics, they will become a legal target for our Armed Forces right away."

Details: Medvedev has also stated that "a civilised world" does not need NATO. According to him, the Alliance has to "repent" and be dissolved.

Background:

  • On Monday, 28 November, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki once again urged Germany to provide Ukraine with Patriot anti-ballistic missile systems that Berlin had offered to ship to Warsaw after the incident in the village of Przewodów, as Kyiv needs them more. 
  • The USA is considering the possibility of sending Patriot anti-ballistic missile systems to Ukraine in order to support air defence against Russian attacks.
