UK and NATO should 'crap themselves with fear' warns Putin ally as WW3 panic grows

Dmitry Medvedev, one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies and a former President and Prime Minister of Russia, has sparked outrage with his latest warning to Europe. Following a wave of mysterious drone sightings and airport shutdowns across the continent, Medvedev said Europeans should “feel the danger of war” and “tremble like stupid animals.”

The remarks came after multiple European airports including in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Norway, Lithuania, and Sweden were forced to temporarily suspend flights in September because of drone incursions. In one of the worst disruptions, Munich Airport had to cancel at least 17 flights, leaving 3,000 passengers stranded, while 15 planes were diverted to nearby cities.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz later stated that he believes Russia was likely behind the coordinated drone incidents. However, Medvedev appeared to deny direct responsibility, suggesting that the drones could have come from Ukrainian forces, European security services testing defences, undercover Kremlin agents, or even random provocateurs.

In his online statement, Medvedev wrote:

“The causes of this panic around ‘Russian drones’ could be any of the listed reasons or a combination of them. The main thing is that the short-sighted Europeans should feel on their own skin what the danger of war is so that they fear and tremble like animals being driven to slaughter.”

His comments came as tensions between Russia and NATO reached a new high. Just weeks earlier, Russian MiG-31 fighter jets reportedly violated Estonian airspace, and 20 Russian drones crossed into Poland and Romania both NATO members.

Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin dismissed accusations that Moscow was behind the drone incursions, joking:

“I won’t do it again not to France or Denmark or Copenhagen.”

The threat perception in Europe continues to rise. Former MI5 chief Baroness Manningham-Buller recently warned that the UK is already at war with Russia, though in a different form.

“It’s not a traditional war, but the hostility, the cyber attacks, and covert operations are extensive,” she said.

Across September alone, at least 14 European airports faced drone-related closures the highest number in a single month fueling growing fears of Russian hybrid warfare and escalating tensions across Europe.
