Former Russian President and current Vice President of the country’s Security Council, Dimitri Medvedevhas warned that the more “destructive” the weapons supplied to Ukraine, the greater the chance that a “nuclear apocalypse“.

“The more weapons supplied, the more dangerous the world becomes, and the more destructive these weapons are, the more likely the scenario of what is commonly called nuclear apocalypse“Medvedev said.

On the other hand, Medvedev, one of President Vladimir Putin’s trusted men, has warned that Moscow considers “hostile” some international alliances such as AUKUS, made up of Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, or QUAD, made up of the United States, India, Japan and Australia.

“Some of the alliances that are being formed are almost hostile towards the countries of this region. So we see alliances like QUAD, AUKUS and some others (…) because NATO is getting in here“, Medvedev denounced, according to the Russian agency TASS.

Thus, the vice president of the Russian Security Council has accused the Atlantic Alliance of meddling in alliances in the Asia-Pacific and the countries of the Indochina peninsula, generating “destability” in the region. “This is very bad“, has warned Medvedev, who has recognized that Russia is addressing these issues with its main partners.

However, Medvedev has clarified that there are other alliances that are “neutral” with Russia, and there are even some others in which it participates as a guest country, such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
