Medvedev threatens France: watch your tongues, economic wars quite often turned into real ones

Russian ex-president, current security official Dmitry Medvedev has responded to possible tough economic sanctions on Russia by France, threatening the country with a ‘real war.’ 

“Today, some French ministers have said that they declared an economic war on Russia. Watch your tongue, gentlemen! And don’t forget that in human history, economic wars quite often turned into real ones,” Medvedev has tweeted. 
The international community has imposed a range of sanctions on Russia for its current invasion of Ukraine. 
The sanctions are expected to expand.
