Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday any British soldiers training Ukrainian troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets for Russian forces, as would German factories producing Taurus missiles should they supply Kyiv.

Wait. I'm confused. I thought Russia claimed they were at war with NATO, which if true would mean British soldiers in Britain would be legitimate targets, not just in Ukraine.

But now Medvedev is saying they'll only target British soldiers when they're in Ukraine, which means he's saying Russia isn't at war with NATO.

That's weird. Almost as if they don't actually believe half of the crap they say.

But hey. Who cares? Honesty is overrated in international diplomacy, especially between antagonistic nuclear powers. What's the worst that could happen?
