The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, warned that "the Third World War is approaching," stressing that Russia will respond to a bombing carried out by Ukraine with cluster munitions.
Medvedev wrote via "Telegram" that the preliminary results of today's "NATO" summit were identical to Russia's prior expectations, pointing out that the special military operation will continue with the same goals, and that the most important of these goals is to reject Kiev's efforts to join NATO.
Commenting on the results of the preliminary NATO summit today in Vilnius, Medvedev paid special attention to the decision to invite Ukraine to join NATO, although the date of its accession was left open, and no conditions were set for that.
He also pointed to the decision to raise the amount of military aid provided to Kiev regime.
Medvedev also said that all Western aid to the Kiev regime with various weapons, the latest of which is cluster munitions, is doomed to a dead end, adding that "the Third World War is approaching."
He added, "What does all this mean for us? Everything is clear. The special military operation will continue with the same goals, and one of those goals is the refusal of the Kiev Nazis' group to join NATO, which we insisted on from the beginning, and it is considered impossible for us."
Medvedev indicated that this goal "means that Russia will have to get rid of this group," stressing the need to complete this plan to end the conflict and bring peace to Ukraine.
Medvedev concluded by saying: "Note: It was reported that the city of Tokmak was bombed with cluster munitions. This means that it is time to reveal our arsenals of this inhumane weapon."
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov publicly stated "The confrontation in Ukraine will not end unless the West backs down from the idea of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.
On top of that, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, while visiting military factories in Tartarstan, said "If Washington makes good on its promise to send cluster munitions to Kiev, the Russian military will use its own diverse arsenal on the battlefield."
He then went further with a rather ominous remark "It should be noted that Russia has cluster munitions, as they say, for all occasions. They are much more effective than American ones, their range is broader and more diverse.”
