Russia’s former president and current deputy head of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, sees his country’s international importance boosted by the war in Ukraine.
The “special military operation” in Ukraine has already fulfilled a task, Medvedev wrote on the Telegram messaging service today.
“Russia is now being taken seriously. Just as it was with the Soviet Union. And in some ways even more seriously, judging by the sanctions package.” Not long ago things were different, Medvedev continued. Russia participated in the G8 meetings of the world’s largest industrialized countries, but was not invited to some meetings of the other seven participants “when economic and defense issues of Western countries were discussed.”
In particular, Western countries have been strongly condemning Russia’s aggression against Ukraine for weeks and many sanctions have been imposed on Moscow. Some G20 leaders have questioned whether they will attend a summit in November if Russian President Vladimir Putin comes there in person.
