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.

Demonstrations around the world
The Czech Republic will no longer grant visas and residence permits to Russians and Belarusians due to the invasion of Ukraine.
However, the government should create conditions for the opposition or students who "do not want to have anything to do with the Russian and Belarusian regimes" to operate in the Czech Republic, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said at a press conference after the government meeting.
After Russia invaded Ukraine, the Czech government stopped granting visas to citizens of Russia and later Belarus, except in humanitarian cases.
The resolution was still in effect until March 31, and on February 21, the government approved a new one without a specific expiration date.
The British government states that the new sanctions will include munitions and electronics manufacturers, as well as companies that trade in diamonds and oil, — Reuters.
Great Britain has added 50 new companies and individuals from Russia, as well as 2 Belarusian companies to the sanctions lists.
Among the sanctioned companies are the Perm Powder Plant, the airline "224 Pilot Squadron" and heads of "NOVATEK", the group of companies "ALROSA" and Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. The list also included the Belarusian enterprises Precision Electromechanics Plant and Planar Joint Stock Company.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine received a promised batch of dozens of M113 armored personnel carriers from Spain.
These armored personnel carriers were specially converted to evacuate the wounded from the battlefield.
"Dozens of these armored evacuation vehicles have already arrived in Ukraine. Several hundred more are expected in the near future." — Minister of Defense of Ukraine.

From Avdiivka to Kyiv: "Psychologically, it's hard for a serviceman to be at home" - hromadske
"It is psychologically very difficult for a soldier to be in the rear, because when you are in the rear for too long, it is not clear whether you are a civilian or a soldier, what to do in general. That is why military personnel very often walk around on vacation in their uniform – in order to separate themselves psychologically, to understand: this is the world, I am passing through it, I am here for a short time, I will return soon; in order not to get used to civilian life, so that it would be easier to return to the trenches after vacation," says Andrii Kobalia, a serviceman of the 109th TrO.
Now he is in Kyiv, on training, and in a few days he will return to the Avdiivka region, where he will work with attack drones.
Andriy has been fighting since the beginning of the invasion. He joined the Kyiv National Guard on February 24, 2022. When the North was freed, he went to Kharkiv region and Donetsk region, where he served in the infantry, and later he became interested in drones and transferred to the UAVs unit.
