The EU advised Dmitry Medvedev to seek psychiatric assistance

Earlier, Medvedev said that "Kyiv is a Russian city" and that Russia's existence is allegedly threatened from there. Asked to comment on his statement, EU foreign policy spokesman Peter Stano said that the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council should consult a psychiatrist.

The EU does not usually comment on "bizarre statements by people who are desperate to draw attention to themselves, especially if they are perpetually number two," he said.

"And while it's great that the said person is publicly broadcasting his diagnosis regarding his mental health condition, the only thing to say here is to recommend counseling and help from a specialist. But I'm not sure that the Russian state, with the billions it has spent on an illegal war against Ukraine, can afford to invest anything in social security and healthcare for its people," Stano said.
