"Medvedev's Warning: Nuclear Weapon Use Looms if Ukrainian Offensive Succeeds"

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that Russia would be forced to use a nuclear weapon if Ukraine's counter-offensive, backed by NATO, was successful in retaking territory that Russia had unilaterally annexed. Medvedev referred to Russia's nuclear doctrine, which allows for the use of nuclear weapons in response to aggression using conventional weapons that threatens the existence of the Russian state. He urged enemies to pray for the success of Russian warriors to prevent a global nuclear conflict.
