MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. What the West is waging on Ukrainian soil against Russia is not a proxy war but rather a real war, Russian Security Council Vice President Dmitry Medvedev told RT in an interview.

“Our current adversaries argue that they have the right to send any weapons to Ukraine or that they have the right to send their advisors to consult on how to conduct hostilities. ‘We will give you the coordinates of the Russian facilities,’ they say, which basically means that our specialists will attack them with missiles,” said the politician. “This, in reality, is the recognition that a war is being waged against Russia,” he said.

“This is no longer a proxy war. It’s just a war. It’s a real war,” Medvedev emphasized.

Commenting on political scenarios, he said that “the situation on the chessboard” is constantly changing and that “someday there may be a zugzwang.”
