Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Wednesday claimed\u00a0that British officials had become\u00a0“legitimate military targets” because of the U.K.\u2019s continued support for Ukraine amid Russia\u2019s ongoing invasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The UK acts as Ukraine\u2019s ally providing it with military aid in the form of equipment and specialists, i.e., de facto is leading an undeclared war against Russia,” he said in a tweet. “That being the case, any of its public officials (either military, or civil, who facilitate the war) can be considered as a legitimate military target.”<\/p>\n

Medvedev, who also sits as\u00a0deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, has become notorious for his outlandish comments relating to the war in Ukraine, the threat of nuclear escalation,<\/a> and Russia\u2019s ever-deteriorating relations with Western nations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though his most recent remarks were in response to comments made by U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, who said Tuesday from a press conference in Estonia that Ukraine has the “legitimate right” to defend itself and can “project force” beyond its borders, reported Sky News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cleverly told reporters that Kyiv has the right to hit “legitimate military targets” beyond its borders as part of its self-defense in stopping Russia\u2019s war effort.<\/p>\n

“We should recognize that,” he added in an apparent shift in how Western allies are looking at the war in Ukraine following more than a year of NATO attempts to balance support for Kyiv while preventing the war from slipping beyond Ukraine\u2019s borders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Medvedev responded to Cleverly by calling the U.K. Russia\u2019s “eternal enemy” and claimed that under “universally accepted international law which regulates modern warfare” \u2013 which Moscow has violated by illegally invading Ukraine \u2013 the U.K. could “also be qualified as being at war” given its support to Kyiv.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cleverly\u2019s remarks were in response to questions from reporters after a drone attack hit Moscow<\/a> and damaged three apartment buildings Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Five of the eight drones fired at Moscow \u2013 some 310 miles from the border with Ukraine \u2013 were shot down while the three others were jammed and veered off course, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the attack a “terrorist” act by Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kyiv has denied launching the drones at Moscow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
