Sorry, too many people on this forum and too many Russians in real life argue that Russia is a continuum of the USSR and not a child of it. It is part of their thinking in invading Ukraine is that they’re reuniting the USSR.
Russia is the USSR
The USSR is Russia
A distinction without a difference.
What is your point? As long as a great many Russians believe that they are re-uniting the U.S.S.R., what does it matter if, technically speaking, the Russian Federation is a mere successor-state to Soviet Russia?
Regards,

The EuroNews title is itself amusing. The "right" seems a EuroNews interpretation of what was said. There are three instances of "right: in the article. One in the title, one in the prose and one as half of the "copyright" mention at the bottom of the article. Interesting how the media works. The title and article were reprised by Yahoo!News, since their "reporting" usually involves reprinting others.
One finds: "Medvedev's post on Twitter came following Britain's Foreign Secretary James Cleverly's statement that Ukraine 'has the legitimate right to … project force beyond its borders to undermine Russia's ability to project force into Ukraine itself'.”

The Twitter answer to Cleverly restates Cleverly's use of "right." But the tweet does not use the word again. So it turns out the use of the word is Cleverly's.
Clever, eh?

So using quotations -- single, one observes, not double quotation marks -- cleverly suggests the word was Medvedev's. It was Cleverly's.
As to war, it turns out we all have the possibility of using "war" against another nation. Happens all the time. We shouldn't forget that. But we do.
