Dmitri Medvedev criticized Ursula von der Leyen for her statements regarding the explosion in the Port of Constanța, accusing her of treachery.

Dmitri Medvedev, vice president of the Security Council of Russia, launched a harsh attack on the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, after she stated that the explosion in the Port of Constanța is a "direct consequence of Russia's war." Medvedev used insulting language, calling her "the filthy Ursula" and insinuating that she should draw conclusions about Russia's responsibility for future incidents.

His reaction came in the context in which von der Leyen expressed solidarity with Romania, emphasizing that the incident represents a threat to the countries on the eastern border of the European Union. She mentioned that the explosion of the maritime drone is part of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, highlighting the increasing risks to regional security. Medvedev used a provocative tone, including derogatory references to Ukrainians, which underscores the heightened tensions between Moscow and Brussels.
