Overview

• Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warns that the ongoing migrant crisis at the Texas border could spark a civil war in the US.
• Medvedev suggests that Texas may secede from the rest of the US due to the escalating feud between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the Biden Administration over border security.
• Abbott recently declared that Texas' right to self-defense supersedes any federal statutes, following a US Supreme Court ruling that sided with Biden, allowing US Border Patrol agents to temporarily remove the razor wire laid across the US-Mexico border under Abbott’s orders.
• The State Department dismissed Medvedev’s claims as 'standard Kremlin nonsense'.
• Russian state television host, Sergey Mardan, suggests that the US border crisis could hinder future aid deliveries to Ukraine.
