Western countries are pushing the world into a global war. And only a complete and final victory of Russia is a guarantee against global conflict, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, wrote in his Telegram channel.

"The well-known thesis of Western countries: 'Russia cannot be allowed to win the war.'

What does it really mean? Follow a simple formal logic.

If it is not Russia that wins, then, apparently, it is Ukraine. The goal of Ukraine in the war is named by the Kiev regime - the return of all the territories that previously belonged to it. That is, to tear them away from Russia.

This is a threat to the existence of our state and the disintegration of today's Russia. And hence, a direct reason to apply clause 19 of the Fundamentals of State Policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence.

And then who is planning a nuclear conflict, may I ask?

What is this, if not a direct provocation of the world war with the use of nuclear weapons? Let us call things by their proper names. Western countries are pushing the world towards a global war. And only a complete and final victory of Russia is a guarantee from a global conflict," he said.
