Kremlin threatens to unleash Armageddon on the West if it loses in Ukraine: Moscow warns it will fire nuclear missiles on London, Washington, Berlin and Kyiv if Russia is forced to give up territory

The Kremlin today threatened to fire nuclear missiles at London, Washington, Berlin and Kiev if Russia is forced to give up the Ukrainian territory it has invaded.

Dmitry Medvedev – a close ally of Putin who served as president from 2008 to 2012 – said that if a military defeat led to a return to the borders of 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Moscow would unleash Armageddon.

“Attempts to return Russia to its 1991 borders will only lead to one thing,” he said. ‘Towards a global war with Western countries, using the entire strategic arsenal of our state. In Kiev, Berlin, London, Washington.’

Hypersonic nuclear missiles would also hit “all the other beautiful historical places that have long been among the flight targets of our nuclear triad.”

He added: “Will we have the courage to do this when the disappearance of a thousand-year-old country, our great motherland, is at stake, and the sacrifices made by the Russian people over the centuries will be in vain ? The answer is obvious.’

He suggested that Kiev and the West should give Putin the parts of Ukraine he considers Russia.

“It’s better to give everything back (to us) before it’s too late. Or we give it back ourselves with maximum losses for the enemy. As in Avdiivka. Our fighters are heroes!’

Medvedev, deputy head of Russia’s security council overseeing the war, lashed out at “snotty Anglo-American foster children” who opposed Putin.

British and German Defense Ministers Grant Shapps and Boris Pistorius were “holes” who believe the world cannot afford a Russian victory in the war, he said on his Telegram channel.

If they had their way, there would be an “immediate and irreversible collapse of present-day Russia,” including the recently invaded territories.

A “violent civil war could break out with the eventual disappearance of our country from the world map, tens of millions of victims, the death of our future.”

He asked: ‘Do these idiots really believe that the Russian people will accept such a division of their land?

‘That we will all think something like: ‘Well, unfortunately, this happened. They won. Today’s Russia has disappeared.

“It’s a shame, of course, but we have to continue living in a collapsing, dying country, since a nuclear war for us is much more terrible than the death of our loved ones, our children, our Russia…”?

“The West should not think that in such a scenario Russia’s leadership will ‘tremble in its hand’ when pressing the nuclear button.”
