A close associate of Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Medvedev, issued a warning that Russia could unleash nuclear attacks on cities like Washington and London if compelled to relinquish Ukrainian territory it has seized.
Medvedev, the deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council, conveyed the threat, emphasizing that attempts to alter Russia’s borders would result in a global war with the West.
Critics view these statements as potential bluffs aimed at securing concessions in Russia’s conflict with Ukraine.
Medvedev’s history of making similar threats raises questions about their credibility.
