Medvedev said he had read Stalin’s World War II-era cables aimed at prompting the Defense Operations Command to implement the state defense order to boost production as the war raged (according to Moscow “special business”) with Ukraine.

Commenting on the controversial move of the deputy head of the Russian Security Council, the representative of the Russian presidency Dmitry Peskov commented that “any experience is useful”.

“It was a very difficult time then, there was the Great Patriotic War. Therefore, of course, this is an invaluable experience,” emphasized the “right hand” of Vladimir Putin.

New threats of nuclear war were launched earlier by Dmitry Medvedev with a “red line” on the Crimean peninsula which has been under Russian occupation since 2014. “Any US-Russian military conflict would have no winner, it would trigger a nuclear war, a ‘guaranteed defeat’ with dire consequences for both sides ” he said.

“Efforts to recapture Crimea will be seen by Russia as a threat to the existence of the (Russian) state, which gives it the right to use any type of weapon, including its nuclear arsenal,” the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council said. and former president and prime minister of Russia.
