 Medvedev, attackers in Belgorod must be exterminated like rats. The Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, has described the perpetrators of the attack on the Belgorod region as scumbags who should be exterminated like rats. As for these scumbags, there is no other way to call them. One can characterize them in different ways. The only question is, what is to be done about them? You just have to exterminate them like the rats they are and not even take them prisoner. Medvedev said, Whatever chatter you hear about Kiev, about how sabotage attacks of these kind have nothing to do with them, it is all a lie, of course. An absolute lie. He pointed out, when asked by TASS whether the fact that the sabotage was carried out by Russian citizens absolved Ukraine of responsibility for the saboteurs' attack on the Belgorod region. The responsibility for them lies with the Kiev regime and ultimately with its sponsors across the ocean, i.e. Washington and the European Union countries, together with states like Britain and others. This is their direct and immediate responsibility, Medvedev stressed. He said that the North Atlantic Alliance does not take the threat of nuclear war seriously enough, thus making a big mistake. NATO is not serious about this scenario, otherwise NATO would not have supplied such dangerous weapons to the Ukrainian regime. Apparently they think that a nuclear conflict or a nuclear apocalypse is never ever possible, he said. In Medvedev's view, NATO is wrong and at some point events may take a completely unpredictable turn. The responsibility will be placed squarely on the North Atlantic Alliance, he said.
