Russia will try to prevent World War III and nuclear disaster

In an article published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Mr. Medvedev stated: “If Russia does not receive appropriate security guarantees, tensions will continue indefinitely. The world will continue to be on the brink of World War III and a nuclear catastrophe. But we will do everything to prevent these dangers.”

Mr. Medvedev also declared that Russia has “nothing” to negotiate with the West because trust has been eroded and the events of 2022 have lost the opportunity to conduct a dialogue based on trust. In addition, Mr. Medvedev said that NATO’s efforts to expand eastward are “preparation for waging war with Russia.”

The former Russian Prime Minister also stressed that at the present time, new disarmament agreements are "unrealistic and unnecessary", but the sooner Moscow receives security guarantees, the sooner the situation will return to normal.
