"Pumping Ukraine with Weapons by NATO Countries Provokes Nuclear War" Dmitry Medvedev - Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, President of the Russian Federation in 2008-2012

"The endless talk of foreign analysts about NATO's war with Russia does not subside. The cynicism of Western "talking heads" is becoming more and more blatant. They are trying hard to introduce into the agenda the thesis that Russia frightens the world with a nuclear conflict. Even Trump recently came out with this. True, of course, just to spite Biden. And of course, the Europeans are squeaking their thin voices.

In the context of the proxy war with Russia unleashed by the Western countries, I want to articulate very clearly once again the things that are so obvious to all reasonable people.

1. Pumping Ukraine with weapons by NATO countries, preparing its troops to use Western equipment, sending mercenaries and conducting exercises by Alliance countries near our borders increases the likelihood of a direct and open conflict between NATO and Russia instead of the "proxy war" they are conducting.

2. Such a conflict always has a risk of escalating into a full-fledged nuclear war.

3. it would be a catastrophic scenario for everyone.

That's it. So you don't have to lie to yourself and others. You just have to think about the possible consequences of your actions. And don't choke on your own saliva in paroxysms of Russophobia!"
