Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, believes that Ukraine's statements about the 'retaking' of Crimea were mainly 'propaganda.'
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, warned that Moscow would not rule out using nuclear weapons in Ukraine if the Eastern European country tries to take back Crimea, which was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014., Medvedev, who was also the former president and prime minister of Russia, floated the idea that Moscow would use nuclear weapons against Ukraine in response to any attempt that would split off part of the state.
"As far as some serious offensives involving an attempt to retake Crimea are concerned, it is absolutely clear that this will serve as a basis for the use of all means of protection, including those provided for by the basic doctrine of nuclear deterrence, when the use of any types of weapons against Russia poses a threat to the existence of the state as such," Medvedev said in an interview on Friday with Russian media, including TASS and the VKontakte social media network.
The fight between Russian and Ukrainian troops extended throughout major cities in Ukraine since the war began last February, including Kyiv, Odessa, Kherson, and most recently intensified in Bakhmut. There is still no end to the war in sight, but Western nations, including the United States, continue to supply Ukraine with military and humanitarian aid to help the war-torn country sustain and defend itself.
