(MENAFN) Simple logic shows that only a Russian conquest in Ukraine would stop an atomic world conflict, as stated by previous Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday, addressing requests from the West that Moscow must not succeed.
“Follow the simple formal logic,” Medvedev shared on Telegram. “If Russia can’t win, then apparently Ukraine must. Ukraine’s war objective, as named by the Kiev regime, is the return of all territories previously belonging to it – that is, their separation from Russia.”
This, Medvedev clarified, would qualify as a risk to the regional integrity of Russia and as a result “a direct reason for applying Clause 19” of the Russian state doctrine on atomic deterrence – mentioning the conditions in which the use of nuclear arms by Moscow would be right.
“So tell me, who is then pushing for nuclear war? What is this, if not directly provoking a world war with the use of atomic weapons? Let’s call things by their proper name,” Medvedev added.
