Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman ‌of Russia's Security Council, said that European ⁠powers had failed to defeat Russia in Ukraine but had ​inflicted severe economic harm on themselves ‍by trying to do so.

"Europe surprised me a lot," Medvedev ⁠said ‌in ⁠the interview with Reuters, TASS and ‍the WarGonzo Russian war blogger. "Because ​Europe is undermining the foundations ⁠of its existence by its own ⁠actions. It's just amazing."

Medvedev said that European powers ⁠wanted to "inflict a strategic defeat on ⁠Russia" ‌but that they had not "achieved anything".
