He explained that NATO is a huge military bloc, the population of its member countries is almost 1 billion people, and the total military budget can reach $1.5 trillion.

In the context of this, Russia, according to Medvedev, will simply have no choice but to use missiles “with special warheads” to protect its territorial integrity.

“And this is the very notorious Apocalypse. The end of everything,” Medvedev wrote in his personal Telegram channel.

Also in his publication, Deputy Medvedev spoke about statements by Western politicians about a possible conflict between Russia and NATO and the EU. He called them "dangerous chatter."
