Former President Dmitry Medvedev warns of nuclear war if Western aid to Ukraine continues to increase
Former Russian president, former head of government and current “number two” of the Kremlin Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, who feared that Ramstein would agree to supply Germany’s Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, yesterday launched another of his usual diatribes against the West and again threatened “nuclear war” if military aid to Kiev continues.
Through his Telegram account, Medvedev referred in a particularly angrily manner to the calls to enable Ukraine’s victory against Russia, which he described as a “mantra that in order to achieve peace Russia must lose”. In his words, “It has never occurred to them to make the elementary conclusion that defeat by a nuclear power in a conventional war can lead to the outbreak of a nuclear war. The nuclear powers have never lost in major conflicts where their fate is at stake.
“This is something that should be obvious to everyone, even a Western politician who can show even a spark of intelligence,” he added. Medvedev complained that “at the NATO base in Ramstein, the top military leaders of the West will discuss new tactics and strategies and the delivery of new heavy weapons and offensive systems to Ukraine.” It is not the first time that Medvedev has spoken out about the nuclear threat. He is the Russian leader who has most often resorted to this form of intimidation.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later stated that what the former Russian president said is “fully consistent with our nuclear doctrine. Read our defensive doctrine and you will see that there are no contradictions. Yesterday, Peskov warned that if the meeting of Western defense ministers at US Ramstein airbase agrees to deliver heavy tanks to Kiev, the consequences will be “negative”.
“We have repeatedly said that these supplies will not change anything materially, but that they will put Ukraine and the Ukrainian people in trouble,” emphasized the presidential spokesman, assuring this week that Western tanks arriving in Ukraine will immediately “set fire” . .
