Russia “at the moment does not see any prerequisites for resolving the situation around Ukraine in a peaceful direction, which makes it necessary to continue a special military operation.” Confirmation of the fact that peace in Ukraine is far away at the moment came from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. After a night in which, according to reports from Kiev, a volley of Iranian-made Russian drones hit Ukraine: 14 in total, of which 11 were shot down, the General Staff of the Armed Forces said.
Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and now deputy head of the National Security Council chaired by Vladimir Putin, went a step further, once again evoking the specter of nuclear war, a nuclear apocalypse if the West continues to send weapons to Kiev. “If the question of the existence of Russia itself is seriously raised, it will be decided not on the Ukrainian front, but together with the question of the existence of all human civilization. And there should be no ambiguity here: we don’t need a world without Russia Of course, one can continue to pump weapons into the neo-fascist regime in Kiev and block any possibility of resuming negotiations. Our enemies are doing just that, not wanting to understand that their goals obviously lead to a total fiasco Former life will have to be forgotten for centuries until the smoldering rubble stops emitting radiation,” Medvedev said in an article in the Russian newspaper Izvestia.
So, in an interview with “Russia 1”, Vladimir Putin did not leave much room for imagination: “We cannot fail to take into account not only the nuclear capabilities of the United States, but also those of other NATO countries,” said the president Russian. Putin said Russia faced an existential threat because, in his opinion, NATO members were seeking the country’s “strategic defeat”.
