Powell’s speech, Nvidia’s chips, Meta deal - what’s moving markets
Investing.com -- The Kremlin on Thursday declined to comment on remarks made by former president Dmitry Medvedev about potential preemptive strikes on the West, while acknowledging that Medvedev was right to highlight a "confrontational environment" in Europe.
Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, stated earlier Thursday that the West was practically waging a full-scale war against Russia. He suggested Moscow should respond in full and, if necessary, launch preemptive strikes, according to the TASS state news agency.
When asked about these remarks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he would not provide detailed comments as he represents President Vladimir Putin rather than Medvedev. Peskov added that Medvedev has extensive experience and was expressing his personal opinion.
