MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s Kursk region can be considered as a prerequisite for a formal decision to use nuclear weapons, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on Saturday.
"So far, no decision on the use of nuclear weapons (non-strategic or even more so strategic) has been taken. Although, to put it bluntly, there are formal prerequisites for this, which are clear to the entire world community and consistent with our doctrine of nuclear deterrence. Kursk, for example. But Russia is showing patience," Dmitry Medvedev said.
The former president of Russia added that "no one needs a nuclear conflict" today.
"After all, it is obvious that a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel, adding that any form of patience eventually "comes to an end."
