⚡️Dmitry Medvedev: Kiev's security guarantees project is "Prelude to World War Three"

❗️Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz discuss the situation in Ukraine, the need to ensure security of the Zaporozhye NPP and global food security during Tuesday phone call

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev lambasted Zelensky's project of Ukraine's "security guarantees," warning that its implementation may appear as a “prelude to World War Three”.

Medvedev mentioned that the presented plan equates to extending NATO’s military protection over Ukraine, warning the bloc’s members to stop pumping Kiev with weapons to prevent the conflict from escalating further, becoming less predictable and dragging more countries.

If this were to happen, "Then the [people in] western countries will not be able to sit in their clean houses and apartments, laughing at how they weaken Russia using proxies. Everything around them will go up in flames. Their citizens will get their fair share of woes. The earth will literally burn and the concrete will melt around them," Medvedev said.
