Former Russian president disgraces Japan over atomic comments


(MENAFN) Japanese Premier Fumio Kishida has ruined the memories of the hundreds of thousands who died in the US nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, previous Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said on Saturday.

The remarks were in response to a threatening released by Kishida and US President Joe Biden, that if Russia uses atomic arms in Ukraine it would be an “act of hostility against humanity and unjustifiable.” The two presidents released the declaration following discussions which took place in Washington, DC on Friday.

Sharing on Telegram, Medvedev, who was the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, called the declaration “hideous cringe.”

“I will not even comment on the paranoia over the nuclear plans of our country,” he also said.

Russian officials have repeatedly said that Moscow does not plan to use atomic arms in Ukraine.
In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that doing this “would make neither political, nor military sense.” Under its official atomic policy, Russia would only use the arms in response to an invasion with arms of mass damage or when there is “a threat to the existence of the state as a whole.”
