[Medvedev warns that the failure of negotiations may lead to a worse war]
On May 17, Dmitry Medvedev, vice chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, warned all Russian enemies who attempt to issue ultimatums for negotiations on X. He said that the failure of negotiations might trigger a more terrible war involving new participants and new weapons.
Medvedev wrote on X: "All Russian enemies who issue negotiation ultimatums should remember one simple thing: peace negotiations themselves do not always lead to the end of hostilities." "The failure of negotiations may lead to the beginning of a more terrible phase of war, involving weapons and participants."
After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Medvedev has taken on the role of spokesperson for Russia's tough foreign policy, complementing the proactive offensive of Russia's diplomacy. According to past experience, the harder his tone, the more it indicates that Russia's policies are at an adjustment stage, and it might even make choices different from those in the past.
