Dmitry Medvedev, a senior Russian security official, issued a stark warning to the United States on Saturday, emphasizing the need to take Russia’s nuclear threats seriously to prevent a potential World War Three.
Kabul24: Medvedev, who previously served as Russia’s president and now as deputy chairman of the security council, stated that U.S. officials mistakenly believe Russia will not cross critical thresholds. He criticized the current political leadership in the U.S. and Europe for lacking strategic foresight, contrasting them with the diplomatic acumen of Henry Kissinger.
Escalating Tensions in Ukraine
As the war in Ukraine enters a perilous phase, Russian forces are reportedly advancing in eastern regions. Medvedev highlighted that Russia would respond decisively if Western support for Ukraine escalates, particularly regarding longer-range missile systems.
Nuclear Doctrine and Western Miscalculations
Russian officials claim that Western leaders have ignored Moscow’s warnings regarding European security and the conflict’s escalation. U.S. diplomats acknowledge that relations with Russia are at their lowest since the Cold War but assert that Washington is not seeking further escalation in Ukraine.
