Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, appeared to threaten senior staff at The Times newspaper.
Britain has accused Russia of making a “gangster threat” after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issued a warning to journalists at The Times over the newspaper’s coverage of the assassination of Igor Kirillov, the head the Russian army’s chemical weapons division.
An editorial piece that ran in the paper referred to the killing as “a legitimate act of defence” by Ukraine.
The editorial alleged that Kirillov “would have been responsible for numerous documented chemical attacks on Ukrainian forces in the field”.
Russia’s ex-president, who is currently the deputy chair of its Security Council, appeared to threaten senior staff at the paper on Wednesday after the piece was published.
“And they, too, are now legitimate military targets. These may include the lousy jackals from The Times, who cowardly hid behind an editorial. Meaning, the publication’s entire management team,” Medvedev posted on Telegram.
