President Medvedev makes a VERY defensive statement about Libya (UPDATED!)

Absolutely amazing stuff.  Russian President Medvedev has just make an extremely defensive declaration about Russia's decision not to veto the UNSC resolution on Libya.  Here it is in Russian (sorry for those who do not speak the language - its the only version I have found so far):



As soon as I get a transcript or a subtitled version I will post it here.

My own personal feeling that the Medvedev-Putin conflict might well be real.
