Medvedev warns that the delivery of nuclear weapons to Ukraine would lead Russia to launch a “preemptive strike”

The former Russian president and current vice president of the country’s Security Council, Dimitri Medvedev, warned this Friday that the delivery of nuclear weapons to Ukraine would cause a “preemptive attack” by Moscow, within the framework of the invasion of the neighboring country, unleashed in February 2022.

“There are laws of war that are irreversible. If nuclear weapons are delivered (to Ukraine), it would be necessary to carry out a preemptive attack,” he said, before stressing that he considers that Kiev’s allies are not fully aware of this situation. . “It would take place, under certain circumstances,” he stressed in statements to the press during an official trip to Vietnam, according to the Russian news agency TASS.

Thus, he has stressed that “the kyiv regime is going to receive F-16s” and that “perhaps they will also give it nuclear weapons.” “That would mean that a missile with a nuclear warhead would go towards them,” Medvedev said, stressing that Washington “acts in line with its pragmatic interests.”

“They don’t fight, but they earn money. They are trying to destroy an enemy they have had for centuries,” he explained, before stressing that “Europe has gone crazy.” “It’s an incredible business. They constantly incite and fan the flames with their decisions,” she has argued.

Hours earlier, Medvedev had pointed out that the war in Ukraine could drag on for decades. “This is a new reality, new living conditions,” he said, before stating that “there will be three years of truce, two years of conflict, and everything will repeat itself.” “It is necessary to destroy the very nature of Nazi power in kyiv,” he stressed.
