Medvedev's "cure for Russophobia"

Dmitry Medvedev once again did not hold back in his words. This time, he suggested that European politicians suffer from "acute Russophobia." According to him, traditional treatment methods are ineffective, and the best results come from the use of Russian missiles such as Kalibr, Oniks, and Iskander.

"The best therapeutic effect was observed with the combined use of strong sedatives" - wrote Medvedev on Telegram.

Specific names were mentioned

In his post, Medvedev listed several European leaders as examples of "patients" suffering from Russophobia, including French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "Examples of patients in the manic phase are Macron, Starmer, and many others" - he stated.

Medvedev also described the depressive phase of Russophobia, which, according to him, manifests as melancholy and mental exhaustion. In this category, he mentioned European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU High Representative Kaja Kallas. "A patient in the depressive phase of Russophobia can cause self-harm" - he wrote, adding that this phase is more often observed in women.
