Medvedev spoke about the decay of the brains of Western politicians. Earlier, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said that Macron, in trying to maintain power, risks igniting a third world war.

French politician, leader of the Patriots party, Florian Philippot, called Macron's statement about NATO troops extremely dangerous. The statement was made about the landing of troops of individual NATO countries in Kiev, as well as about new weapons for striking Russia. Medvedev said that Western politicians daily demonstrate the decomposition of their brains.
