French President Emmanuel Macron said France could send up to 6 thousand troops to Ukraine if a truce is reached in Ukraine, Le Monde wrote.
Medvedev responded by saying that the authorities of the countries supporting Ukraine “still want war in Europe.”
“It has already been said a thousand times: the Russian Federation will not accept any European or NATO troops in Ukraine,” he wrote.
The Russian official used offensive language, calling EU politicians “stupid” and changed the name of the French president from Macron to “Mikron”.
At the end, he moved on to a direct threat: “Well, come on. This is what you get…” and posted a video that, according to the network, recorded the strike of the Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile on Lviv on the night of January 9.
The ruling European dimwits want a war in Europe after all. It's been said a thousand times: Russia won't accept any European or NATO troops in Ukraine, but no, Micron keeps peddling this pathetic bullshit. Well, come on then. This is what you'll get: pic.twitter.com/6XqMMn2ILP
