Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitriy Medvedev stated that if NATO long-range weapons are used, they will have the right to attack Kiev and NATO elements, and said, “This would be World War 3.” he said. Putin signed Ukraine’s ‘response with nuclear weapons’ doctrine after the attack. While the world was holding its breath, the Russian side made statements that the USA and Europe were also involved in the war.
“USE OF MISSILES MEANS US AND EUROPE ENTERING WAR”
In his statement on the Telegram channel, Medvedev evaluated the allegations that the USA allowed the use of long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine on Russian territory.
Arguing that these missiles will not contribute to Ukraine’s actions in the war, Medvedev said, “It does not matter who decided and when to use NATO’s long-range tactical ballistic and cruise missiles against Russian territory. There have been attempts to use such missiles against our country before. They are in the hands of the enemy.” “It doesn’t matter how many missiles there are.” he said.
Recalling that Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously stated that “allowing Ukraine to attack Russian territory would mean NATO countries, the USA and European countries joining the war in Ukraine”, Medvedev said:
“THIS WILL BE THE 3RD WORLD WAR”
“What is important is what our President said. As a result, the new version of the nuclear deterrence doctrine was approved. The use of NATO missiles in this way can be described as an attack by the alliance countries against Russia. In this case, Kiev and NATO elements wherever they are will be retaliated with weapons of mass destruction.” “There is a right to do so, and this would be World War III.”
Medvedev stated that the Joe Biden administration in the USA has deliberately increased the tension and that President-elect Donald Trump’s team will have to deal with this, adding: “Perhaps the old Biden decided to die gracefully, taking a significant part of humanity with him.” he said.
PUTIN APPROVED THE ‘NUCLEAR WEAPON RESPONSE’ DOCTRINE
In the news of the American Washington Post (WP) newspaper, based on two senior US officials, it was stated that the US administration gave permission to Ukraine to use the long-range tactical missile systems (ATACMS) it supplied to Ukraine in a limited way on Russian territory.
Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in a statement regarding the allegations yesterday: “This radically changes the way they (Americans) are involved in the conflicts in Ukraine.” He used the expression.
Today, Russian President Putin approved the doctrine that allows his country to respond with nuclear weapons if it is attacked by ballistic missiles.
