Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev urged on Tuesday French Finance Minister Bruno le Maire to be careful when making threats to Moscow's economy.
"Today, some French minister has 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," former president and prime minister of Russia wrote in a tweet.
Earlier today, Le Maire pledged to "wage an all-out economic and financial war on Russia" meant to "cause the collapse of the Russian economy."
