Medvedev has jumped at the opportunity of speaking in defence of his master so no surprises there.

The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmytro Medvedev, stated that a situation involving the arrest of the Russian President by the decision of the International Criminal Court would mean a declaration of war against the Russian Federation.

"Now let's imagine - it is clear that this situation is never realized, but, nevertheless, let's imagine that it was realized. The current head of a nuclear state came to the territory of, let's say, Germany and was arrested. What it is? Declaration of war on the Russian Federation! And already in this case, all our means will fly to the Bundestag, the chancellor's office, etc. Does he understand that this is a "casus belli", that this is a declaration of war? Did he study badly?" he said.
