Dmitry Medvedev said Russia would use nuclear weapons on U.S. and European targets if Ukraine wins the war.
A close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened the use of nuclear weapons on the U.S. if it fails in its invasion of Ukraine.
In a Telegram post on Sunday, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, has claimed the Moscow would use nuclear weapons in the event that „Ukraine with its allies“ managed to push Russia out of the war-torn country.
„Let’s imagine for a moment that Russia lost and ‚Ukraine with its allies‘ won. What for our enemies—the neo-Nazis with their Western sponsors—would be such a victory?“ Medvedev wrote, according to a translation posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to the Ukrainian Department of Internal Affairs.
He goes on to talk about the „collapse of Russia,“ in which he describes a „return to the borders of 1991“ when the USSR collapsed following the Cold War.
