MADRID, 23 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Former Russian president and current vice president of the country’s Security Council, Dimitri Medvedev, said Monday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was an “act of last resort” launched in response to United States preparations to carry out a assault.
Medvedev thus indicated that Russia’s reaction was justified as the country “realized that the growing threat of a Third World War” and pointed out that the war in Ukraine “was necessary and an extreme measure” that responded to “the threat from the United States and its allies”, according to information from the TASS news agency.
“Russia had to do something to help people around the world understand the reasons for this special operation,” he asserted less than a week after warning that a Russian defeat “could lead to the outbreak of a nuclear war.” .
However, Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov has stated that Medvedev’s statements do not imply changes in Russia’s defensive doctrine.
