Dmitry Medvedev: “Let's not capture the NATO soldiers, let's kill them”

If NATO members fight in Ukraine, they should not be captured, the maximum reward should be set for each killed soldier of the alliance countries, and their bodies should not be handed over. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev wrote about this on the VKontakte network.
Medvedev noted that NATO has made statements about the lack of plans to send troops to Ukraine.
"Separate units can enter Lviv and Kyiv region to provide for the Ukrainian army and perform only economic and organizational functions."
Former Russian President said that bounties should be offered for the killing of NATO soldiers if they are deployed to Ukraine to fight against Russian troops.
Medvedev lashed out at Kiev’s Western backers, arguing that they are “taking the world for fools” if they believe that sending foreign forces to Ukraine would not lead to a dangerous escalation. If NATO soldiers do end up in Ukraine, they will not be limited to non-combat roles, he claimed.
“They will become part of the regular forces that are fighting against us. That is why they will have to be treated only as the enemy,” Medvedev wrote. “We should take no prisoners! The highest rewards must be given out for every killed NATO soldier.”
Russian businessmen and activists have previously set bounties for the destruction of Western-made tanks in Ukraine.
The idea of having NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine was repeatedly floated by French President Emmanuel Macron, who argued that “all options are possible.” He stressed, however, that Paris has no such plans.
During a rare phone conversation between defense chiefs, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu warned his French counterpart, Sebastien Lecornu, that sending French troops to Ukraine would have disastrous consequences for Paris.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that deploying NATO troops to Ukraine would put the bloc on the brink of a full-blown conflict with Russia. President Vladimir Putin warned earlier that it would be “one step shy of a full-scale World War III.”
