In the wake of yesterday’s decision by the US to allow the use of Western weapons so that Ukraine can strike on Russian soilthe belligerent rhetoric is escalating with the Kremlin to escalates its threats against the West, warning even with nuclear war.

At the same time, the Ukrainian president is calling for the immediate accession of his country to NATO at the July meeting.

In particular, Volodymyr Zelensky said that the NATO summit in July should manage the issue of inviting of Ukraine to join the Alliancespeaking at a press conference in Stockholm yesterday.

“The summit should be productive, and Ukraine considers that this cannot be achieved without mentioning the issue of inviting Ukraine (to join) NATO,” Zelensky said.

Moreover, he himself said that he is only a matter of time before Ukraine uses western weapons to strike Russian soil.

In response to the US decision, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared on Friday that Russia is not bluffing when it talks about it possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons, and that its conflict with the West may develop into a generalized war.

“Russia considers that all long-range weapons used by Ukraine are already directly controlled by the military of NATO countries. This is not military aid, it is participation in a war against us,” Medvedev argued.

“And such actions could well become a casus belli (cause of war).”

“A few years ago,” NATO “insisted that Russia would not enter into an open military conflict with “the Bandera regime” (Kiev), so as not to clash with the West. They miscalculated. There’s a war going on.”

“The use of tactical nuclear weapons can also be miscalculated. Although this would be a fatal mistake. As the President of Russia rightly noted, European countries have a very high population density,” Medvedev says menacingly in a post on his official Telegram channel. “All their military equipment and specialists fighting against us will be destroyed both on the territory of the former Ukraine and on the territory of other countries, if strikes are carried out from there against Russian territory.”

Dmitry Medvedev typically states that Moscow does not bully or “nuclear bluff”.

“The current military conflict with the West is developing according to the worst possible scenario. Therefore, today no one can rule out the transition of the conflict to its final stage.”

The vice chairman of Russia’s Security Council today made the above comment after US officials told Reuters yesterday that US President Joe Biden had tacitly allowed Kiev to use US-supplied weapons against military targets inside Russia supporting an offensive against the northeast.
