Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Ukraine would be “faced with a doomsday” if the country launches an attack on Crimea.

In a warning on Sunday, Medvedev was quoted by the state-run TASS news agency as saying that “some ecstatic bloody clowns, who pop up there with some statements now and then, are trying to threaten us, I mean attacks on Crimea and so on.”
