“If Russia loses the war in Ukraine, it will disintegrate. Will dissolve”. This is what the former Prime Minister of Russia and one of Vladimir Putin’s direct collaborators, Dmitry Medvedev, said, commenting on the visit of American President Joe Biden to Kiev and Warsaw.

Medvedev often appears with extreme rhetoric against the West, reflecting the mood in Moscow. With his above statement, the former Prime Minister of Russia essentially says that the dominance of Ukraine is the only way for Putin and Russia, as otherwise the total collapse and dissolution of this great power will occur.

The Russian politician repeated threats to use nuclear weapons, bringing up the relevant article of the Russian constitution, according to which Moscow can even use nuclear weapons if it deems its territorial integrity threatened.

“If the US stops supplying Kiev with weapons, the war in Ukraine will end,” Medvedev added, stressing that Putin announced his decision to suspend Russia’s participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty. , “something that should have been done a long time ago” while Biden was “addressing the Russian people in front of a crowd of Poles.”

Medvedev, a former president and prime minister, claimed that “Russia’s withdrawal from the New START Treaty will have a huge impact around the world in general, and in the US in particular.”

According to the Russian official, so far the US has been supplying Ukraine with “gigantic amounts of weapons” with the aim of “defeating, containing and destroying Russia” and at the same time leaving the security strategy as a separate issue “that does not concern” the relations between the two countries.

“This conclusion (security stability is separate from the conflict in Ukraine) is worse than a crime – it is a gross mistake of the Americans. A mistake born of their “mania grandiosa”. Their feeling of superiority and impunity”.

“Ultimately, it is obvious to all rational powers that if the US wants to defeat Russia, then we are on the brink of a global conflict. If the US wants to defeat Russia, then we have the right to defend ourselves with any weapon, including nuclear weapons,” Medvedev threatened.

He added that Russia had suspended its participation in the treaty so that it could not the West to defeat her on the battlefield, and urged American elites to “think about what they have done.”

“We will also monitor the reaction of other nuclear powers participating in NATO: France and Britain. Their strategic nuclear forces were usually not included in the balance of nuclear warheads and carriers in the preparation of agreements between the US and the USSR (which signed the New START treaty in 1991), and it is time to do so,” he noted.

Medvedev called Biden’s speech in Warsaw “a sermon in the traditional American messianic way, adapted to senile dementia’. “It seemed unfair and ridiculous. Who is this strange old man talking with a confused look from Poland? Why appeal to the people of another country at a time when it has many domestic problems?

“What is our reason to listen to a politician from a hostile state who exudes hatred for our country? Why should Russian citizens believe the leader of the USA, which launched the largest number of wars in the 20th and 21st centuries, but accuses us with aggression? Medvedev wondered.

Medvedev said the U.S. is leading international efforts coming together to “deliver a strategic defeat on Russia” and called Biden’s statements about ending the war if Russian troops withdraw from Ukraine “elaborate lies.”
