The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, named two dates which, according to him, had a negative impact on the relations between Moscow and the West.
“Two dates can be considered as such: the first was in 2008, when the Western world supported Georgia’s aggression against the Ossetian people and encouraged a fool, drug addict and opportunist, who was later rejected not only by his own country, but also by foreigners, where he fled as a coward. The second point is the spring of 2014, when the people of Crimea expressed their will through a legal referendum and returned forever to their historical homeland. In the Western world, this caused furious hysteria,” Medvedev said.
