Dmitry Medvedev, the former President of Russia who is now Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, warned in an interview with RT that the West is running the risk of provoking a nuclear conflict with Russia, apparently thinking it could never happen—but “they are wrong.” He stated: “Otherwise, Washington and its NATO allies would not funnel such dangerous weapons to the Ukrainian regime. So, apparently, they believe that a nuclear conflict, or a nuclear apocalypse, is impossible, because it is never possible. They are wrong. And at some point, events can follow a completely unpredictable scenario. And the responsibility will lie entirely with the North Atlantic Alliance.”
Medvedev continued: “Nobody knows.… And therein lies the main danger. Because, as soon as something is delivered, the response is, we need more … long-range missiles, or now—fighter jets…. Then all will be good…. Only it won’t…. Nothing good will happen.... We’ll deal with that too. But more and more lethal weapons will be used.”
