Medvedev Warns of Nuclear War Over Arms to Ukraine

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has issued a grave warning about the implications of supplying nuclear weapons to Ukraine. Speaking on Telegram, Medvedev stated that any such move by the West could be perceived as an act of aggression against Russia, potentially warranting a nuclear response under Moscow's revised nuclear doctrine.

The remarks came after a report by The New York Times suggested that some U.S. officials had informally discussed the possibility of President Joe Biden providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Although the idea reportedly remains speculative, it has sparked debate about the risks of escalating the ongoing conflict.

Medvedev, now a senior Russian security official, argued that even the prospect of nuclear weapons being transferred to Kyiv could be interpreted as preparation for nuclear war. "The actual transfer of such weapons can be equated to the fait accomplice of an attack on our country," he warned.

This statement underscores Russia’s firm stance against Western military aid to Ukraine, amid ongoing tensions in the region.
