Russia issues chilling warning to the West threatening to unleash ‘entire arsenal on London if it loses war in Ukraine’.
The Kremlin threatened to fire nuclear missiles on London, Washington, Berlin and Kyiv if it is forced to give up the swathes of Ukraine it has invaded.
Putin’s crony left a threatening message to the West
Dmitry Medvedev – a close Putin ally who served as president from 2008 to 2012 – said Moscow would unleash Armageddon if a military defeat led to a return to the 1991 borders.
“Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing,” he said.
“Towards a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state.
“In Kyiv, Berlin, London, Washington.”
Hypersonic nuclear missiles would also strike “all other beautiful historical places that have long been included in the flight targets of our nuclear triad.”
“Will we have the courage to do this if the disappearance of a thousand-year-old country, our great Motherland, is at stake, and the sacrifices made by the people of Russia over the centuries will be in vain?
“The answer is obvious,” he added.
He suggested Kyiv and the West should allow Putin to have the bits of Ukraine he thinks of as Russia.
Otherwise, Russia would have to take the matter into their own hands “with maximum losses for the enemy”.
“Like in Avdiivka. Our warriors are heroes!” Putin’s crony added.
Medvedev, deputy head of the Russian security council which controls the war, hit out at “snotty Anglo-American fosterlings” who oppose Putin.
“The British and German defence ministers Grant Shapps and Boris Pistorius were “***holes” who believe the world cannot afford a Russian victory in the war,” he said on his Telegram channel.
Medvedev then said if the West got their way, there would be a “direct and irreversible collapse of present-day Russia” including its newly-invaded territories.
He then suggested that a violent war would ensue which would threaten to erase Russia from the world maps, killing tens of millions of Russian citizens and bringing “the death of our future”.
He asked: “Do these idiots really believe that the people of Russia will swallow such a division of their country?
“That we will all think something like this: ‘Well, alas, this happened. They won. Today’s Russia has disappeared.
“It’s a pity, of course, but we must continue to live in a collapsing, dying country, since a nuclear war is much more terrible for us than the death of our loved ones, our children, our Russia…’?”
