Western sanctions can be an excellent occasion for a final review of all relations with those states that have imposed them. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.
According to him, in this regard, the dialogue on strategic stability may be interrupted. “After all, in principle, everything can be abandoned, including the START-3 Treaty, which I concluded with Barack Obama and extended by Vladimir Putin with the current head of the United States. Why is it now, under such and such conditions, especially signed by sanctioned persons? It comes out somehow awkward. Yes, and diplomatic relations, in principle, are not particularly needed. It’s time to close the embassies with barn locks. And contacts continue, examining each other only through binoculars and weapon optics, ”Medvedev wrote on VKontakte.
He recalled that the Council of Europe and PACE suspended Russia’s membership. According to Medvedev, this could be an excuse to “slam the door and forget about these senseless almshouses forever.” Medvedev believes this could also be an opportunity to restore a number of important institutions to prevent particularly serious crimes in the country. “Like the death penalty for the most dangerous criminals, which, by the way, is actively used in the United States and China,” writes the deputy head of the Security Council.
However, as Senator Andrei Klishas told RIA Novosti, the moratorium on the death penalty in Russia was introduced by the Constitutional Court, and no authority has the right to overcome the position of the Constitutional Court.
Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a special operation in the Donbass, the purpose of which President Vladimir Putin called the “demilitarization and denazification” of Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry says it is disabling the country’s military infrastructure with precision-guided strikes.
