Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned NATO against providing Ukraine with Patriot missile defence systems, denouncing the alliance as a “criminal entity” for delivering arms to what he called “extremist regimes”. “If, as (NATO Secretary-General Jens) Stoltenberg hinted, NATO were to supply the Ukrainian fanatics with Patriot systems along with NATO personnel, they would immediately become a legitimate target of our armed forces,” Medvedev wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
