Moscow waved again yesterday at its nuclear capabilities and saw it as a guarantee to rein in “those who are working to push the situation into a third world war (WWIII).”
Russian officials hold the West responsible for “undermining strategic stability in Europe and the world.”
The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, declared that the Russian nuclear shield “has helped to ensure the independence of the country for many years.”
He pointed out the special importance of Russia’s nuclear capabilities now, as they “repress those who are trying to push it into a third world war.”
Medvedev said during a meeting at the National Center for Physics and Mathematics that the historical advantage of those who worked to develop our capabilities in this field is that a reliable nuclear shield has been created for Russia and its allies.
