Medvedev issued a harsh rebuke of recent discussions regarding the potential deployment of Western forces to Ukraine.

"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," Medvedev said in a statement on US social media company X, using a derogatory nickname for French President Emmanuel Macron.

"Well, come on then. This is what you’ll get," he added, attaching footage of a strike on western Ukraine using the Oreshnik system to the publication.

Medvedev's remarks came after Macron and other European leaders recently discussed the formation of a "Coalition of the Willing" to potentially deploy troops for peacekeeping or security guarantees following any future ceasefire.

France and the UK signed a declaration of intent earlier this week to deploy forces to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal, a move they argue is necessary to ensure stability.

Moscow has consistently stated that any foreign military presence in Ukraine would be viewed as a direct threat and a legitimate target.
