He concluded by saying that Russia’s nuclear arsenals are “the best guarantee for the preservation of Great Russia”
Former Russian President and close associate of Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Medvedev, has accused the US and the West of trying to provoke Russia’s breakup.
Specifically, he stated that an effort was being made by the West to push Russia towards collapse, which he said would amount to a “chess game with death”.
“Some in the West would like to take advantage of the military conflict in Ukraine to push our country into a new turn of disintegration, to do everything to paralyze Russia’s state institutions and destabilize the country, as happened in 1991.”
He continued: “These efforts are truly extremely dangerous” because they “ignore a simple axiom: the violent dismantling of a nuclear power is always a game of chess with death.”
In fact, he concluded by saying that Russia’s nuclear arsenals are “the best guarantee for the preservation of Great Russia.”
