MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with RT that what the West is waging against Russia on Ukrainian territory is not a proxy war, but a real war.

“Our current enemies argue that they have the right to send any weapons to Ukraine or to send their advisors to consult on how to conduct hostilities. They say: ‘We will give you the coordinates of Russian facilities.’ This actually means that our experts will target them with missile strikes,” the politician said. “This is essentially a recognition that a war is being waged against Russia,” he said.

“This is no longer a proxy war. This is just a war. This is a real war,” Medvedev emphasized.

Commenting on political scenarios, he said that the “situation on the chessboard” is constantly changing and “one day there may be a zugzwang.”
