Dmitri Medvedev, vice-chairman of the Security Council of Russia, said that the danger of war is growing due to the West at an international forum on June 24.

The danger that a world war would break out due to the provocations by Western countries against Russia is sharply growing, he noted.

To cope with it, it is most important to contain the destructive ambition of the Western hostile forces and restore the balance of power in the world, he said.

Branding the sanctions policy of the West as an act of piracy, he stressed that Russia would take countermeasures in case it is robbed of its overseas assets.
