In particular, former russian president dmitry medvedev said that participation in the summit to be held in Switzerland would be “tantamount to siding with the Banderite regime” for “neutral” states.
▪️ In his post on X, written in English and clearly aimed at a foreign audience, he emphasized that participation in the summit “will have an impact on relations with russia” and warned that russia “will remember this.”
