“A nuclear apocalypse is approaching every time they supply Ukraine with foreign weapons,” former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who now heads Russia’s Security Council, said in March. Referring to the recent International Criminal Court arrest warrant issued against Russian President Vladimir Putin, Medvedev said, “Imagine … the leader of a nuclear-weapon state visits German territory and is arrested. It was done,” he said. “In this case, our assets will be flown to attack the Bundestag, the Prime Minister’s Office, etc.”
