Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday any British soldiers training Ukrainian troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets for Russian forces, as would German factories producing Taurus missiles should they supply Kyiv.

    I don’t think he’s wrong on the targeting the British troops part. They’re entering a war zone.

    I mean, they’re wrong for the whole war. But from a point of view that there already is a war, I do get his point that he could target the British troops who are in the war zone.

    Not sure the targeting German factories in Germany is correct though, regardless of who they supply.

      Perhaps Russia could start by targeting Russia for supplying Ukraine with tanks.

        Russia just shot down one of Russia’s migs last week, so you may be on to something.

      They can do a lot of things, but it definitely won’t be a good idea to attack British citizens that are not directly participating.

        Oh no, it definitely wouldn’t be a good idea. I’m just saying that for this one, they do actually have a point. Should they follow through? Absolutely not. Will they? I highly doubt it…

        As a British citizen I also don’t want the UK dragged in to this war

      If entering a war zone means they are targets, I’d argue that means they should be allowed to take as much AA equipment as needed to defend themselves.
