Medvedev threatens war in the face of Kiev’s request for Western guarantees
Ukraine wants a "NATO-like" bloc that can be called upon to immediately defend its borders with Russia, proposed by a working group set up by President Volodymyr Zelensky. The project foresees that the United States and other NATO allies will provide Ukraine with "security guarantees". In presenting the plan on Tuesday, Kiev officials stressed that it is not intended as a replacement for NATO, but as a legally binding alliance to be implemented as Ukraine pursues full NATO membership, as Newsweek describes:
The Kyiv Security Compact (KSC) – proposed by Andriy Yermak, head of Zelensky's office, and former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen – would also establish a "decades-long" plan of investment, military training and intelligence sharing to strengthen Ukraine's defensive capabilities as the country pursues full NATO membership.
The Kremlin's reaction has been swift and ferocious, with Russian Security Council Vice President Dmitry Medvedev warning that this is " a veritable prologue to World War III " if implemented. He described that the nuclear holocaust would be the end result.
According to a translation of Medvedev's reaction published by the state media, and picked up on Telegram, Medvedev blamed "dull idiots" of "stupid think tanks" for concocting such a "hysterical appeal". Medvedev wrote:
“ And then the Western nations will not be able to sit in their clean houses, laughing at how they have carefully weakened Russia by proxy. Everything will be on fire around them. Their peoples will reap their pain in full. The earth will be on fire and the concrete will melt “.
“ Yet narrow-minded politicians and their stupid think tanks, thoughtfully twirling a glass of wine in their hands, talk about how they can confront us without going into direct war. Dull idiots with a classical education “.
He said the conflict in Ukraine is already sliding into unknown and unpredictable territory of escalation due to the " unbridled pumping of the West to the Kiev regime with the most dangerous types of weapons ".
The Kiev camarilla has given birth to a project of "security guarantees", which are a prologue to the third world war. Of course, no one will give any "guarantee" to the Ukrainian Nazis. After all, this is almost the same as applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact (Washington Treaty) to Ukraine. For NATO – the same crap, only with a side view. Therefore, it is scary.
Obviously, any guarantees of security requested by Zelensky are to be referred not to now, but to a future time, all to be identified, when peace will be re-established. At the same time, the tense situation following Russia's defeats in the Kharkhiv area makes Moscow's reaction increasingly unpredictable and increasingly extreme.
