Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that it is "inadmissible" to compare the UN resolution on Libya with a medieval crusade call. Medvedev's statement obviously refers to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s claim (made hours earlier) that the UN Security Council resolution imposing a no-fly zone over Libya and measures to protect civilians was "deficient and flawed" and "reminiscent of a medieval call for a crusade." Medvedev, in contrast, believes the resolution generally reflects the Russian understanding of the events. Notably, Medvedev made his statement having on a fur-trimmed leather jacket decorated with a golden double-headed eagle and the title "Supreme Commander in Chief of the Russian Armed Forces".
