Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian President and Prime Minister, and now Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, responded to a statement by Deputy Oleh Dunda in Ukraine’s unicameral Verkhovna Rada, who told a conference in Lithuania that it is “crucial to move the war not only to the territory of [Russia’s] Bryansk and Kursk regions, but also to Belarus.... I am deeply confident that, if we enter Belarus with relatively small units, the Belarusian army will lay down its weapons. This is not even confidence, this is knowledge,” which would be a “gut-punch to Moscow.” Such a statement is typical of NATO nonsense.

Medvedev, with his usual outspoken demeanor, wrote today in his Telegram page: “Some stinking Kiev Dunda suggested moving the war to Belarus. Well then, [President] Alexander Grigorievich [Lukashenko] will have full grounds to ask Russia to use the TNW [tactical nuclear weapons] deployed in Belarus. And it will be hard for him to deny the pleasure of looking at the lights in Kiev.”
