Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who has sometimes raised the spectre of a nuclear conflict over Ukraine, said on Sunday that Moscow would have to use a nuclear weapon if Kyiv’s ongoing counter-offensive was a success.
Medvedev, who is deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, a body chaired by President Putin, said in a message on his official social media accounts that Russia would be forced to fall back on its own nuclear doctrine in such a scenario.
“Imagine if the.. offensive, which is backed by NATO, was a success and they tore off a part of our land then we would be forced to use a nuclear weapon according to the rules of a decree from the president of Russia.
“There would simply be no other option. So our enemies should pray for our warriors’ (success). They are making sure that a global nuclear fire is not ignited,” he said.
Medvedev, who has cast himself as one of Moscow’s most hawkish voices, appeared to be referring to part of Russia’s nuclear doctrine which sets out that nuclear weapons can be used in response to aggression against Russia carried out using conventional weapons which threatens the existence of the Russian state.
Ukraine is trying to retake territory which Russia has unilaterally annexed and declared to be part of its own territory, a move condemned by Kyiv and much of the West.
Putin said on Saturday that there were no serious battlefield changes to report in recent days and that Ukraine had lost large amounts of military equipment since June 4. Kyiv says its forces are making some progress in their drive to retake territory, albeit at a slower pace than desired.
Kremlin critics have in the past accused Medvedev of making extreme statements in an effort to dissuade Western countries from continuing to supply Ukraine with arms.

The noise with which the media and echo chambers repeat the lie of nuclear weapons compared to those of us that say to the contrary is like a full stadium to that of a solitary man. As those of the crowd slowly move away to nothing and their voice diminishes, the solitary truthful man’s voice will be constant. He will be the last man standing…
To those new to the idea that nukes are fake and summarily reject the idea, I can understand your reluctance to research it. It is often bracketed with “Flat Earth” in order to discredit the idea. I myself did not just wake up one morning and decide I was a “nuke denier”. I researched. I read books…heck I wrote one…
The mutual lie of nukes is the biggest single reason why I assert that East versus West conflicts over the last seventy years have just been a giant theatre production. The corporate interests have been aided in their rent grabbing and puppet leader appointments by fighting “communism”. Curious that Castro persisted so close to the USA when they can send whole armies across to the world to Iraq etc.
The dynamics of superpower interplay were sketched out by Orwell in 1984. Power is not about the external struggles, but maintaining internal control and managing the slave areas of the world like South and Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The USA is the only empire that has had the chutzpah to deny it is an empire – maybe the biggest Orwellian inversion of all time.
Only one “nuclear weapon” ?
C’mon man! Grow a pair! You’ll need at least 4-5 decent sized nukes (to be on the safe side) just to sink the pirate rock once and for all.
Geez,the Russkies these days are such woosies.
Dear dear..Medvedev and his ‘Nooks’…. when the muggles need to be frightened of impending phony irradiation..they always wheel out this mischling blowhard (one of the three stooges)… and his extremely tall tales and elastic red-lines.
Bomb a bridge or two Dimitri…instead of Oligarch grain storage… and actually attempt to win the so called ‘war’…instead of locking up your patriots.
and playing ‘jewe’ games…
what an imbecile…
Yids like Medvedev would love to drop a nuke on Ukraine & kill/sicken millions of Aryans..Similar to how ZOG intentionally staged that Chernobyl disaster in 1986 to murder Ukrainians via radiation sickness & pollute their environment..
Jews are a curse, instituted by Baal, constantly instigating the wars, killings, thefts and above all the lies that are to be ended this year.
The greatest planned genocide that has been in the works since Noah’s flood.
All to facilitate the greatest deception ever pulled on the whole earth!
The world believes that Baal is the fairytale god of this world, because he has done as he wishes in this world. The masses are totally ignorant of what has occurred in the darkness they think is light..
When the world see who really is in control, who was doing all the evil, the whole world will with one voice move for the extermination of the Jew.
This year, the 24th of September, or not very long after… …Can’t tell the day and hour, but the time and season we know for a certainly…
