Speaking at the plenary session of the 10th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, Medvedev criticized the current "rude and despicable practices of Western countries in adopting unilateral restrictive measures against Russia. Its illegality has been repeatedly emphasized at all levels," adding that this approach is "somewhat akin to declaring economic war , as our opponents themselves said."

He said: "I would like to point out again that in certain circumstances such hostile measures can be characterized as acts of international aggression. They can even serve as a casus belli for war. In response, Russia has the right to independent and collective defense ."

Medvedev said Russia still holds "faint hope" that the West will abandon its "evil practices" and "regret its stupidity." He said: "We hope that our former Western partners will have the courage to admit their strategic misjudgments, which, according to the United Nations, have affected more than 1.5 billion people and triggered global inflation, food shortages and increasing poverty."

Medvedev explained that if such hopes were not realized, Russia would "continue to live" without the West. He said, "Today's world is not limited to the borders of Western countries."

RT pointed out that in the past few years, Russia has repeatedly been the target of various sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies. This pressure began to grow exponentially after Russia took special military action against Ukraine in late February this year. Since then, Russia has been subject to multiple rounds of sanctions and has now become the most sanctioned country in the world. (Editor: HHJ)
