Medvedev warned on Monday in his Telegram channel, “The first episode has been played. There will be others.

“And further. I will express my personal position. I can’t help but mention it now.

“The Ukrainian state in its current configuration with the Nazi political regime will pose a constant, direct and clear threat to Russia.

“Therefore, in addition to protecting our people and protecting the borders of the country, the goal of our future actions, in my opinion, should be the complete dismantling of the political regime of Ukraine.”

Putin held a security council meeting in St Petersburg and said that Ukraine has now “practically put itself on the same plane as international terrorist formations.”

The Russian leader added that Russia conducted a “mass strike with long-range, high-precision weaponry” against “energy, military command and communications facilities of Ukraine,” on Monday morning.

Putin then warned that if the Ukrainian government and their forces continue their “attacks continue against Russia, the response will be harsh.

“The responses will be of the same scale as the threats to Russia.

“In the event of further attempts to carry out terrorist acts on our territory, Russia’s response will be harsh.”

Dmytro Kuleba tweeted in response, “No, Putin was not ‘provoked’ to unleash missile terror by ‘Crimea Bridge’.

“Russia had been constantly hitting Ukraine with missiles before the bridge, too.

“Putin is desperate because of battlefield defeats and uses missile terror to try to change the pace of war in his favour”

He added, “This nonsense about Putin being ‘provoked’ must stop.

“He does not need anything to ‘provoke’ him in order to commit heinous crimes.

“I ask international media to stop shifting the blame on the victim of aggression by suggesting that Putin ‘responds’ or is being ‘provoked’.”
