“To protect the territorial integrity of our country, ballistic and cruise missiles with special warheads will be used. This is based on our doctrinal military documents and is well known to everyone. And this is the very notorious Apocalypse. The end of everything,” he said in his Telegram channel, commenting on statements by the leaders of European countries that they “must be prepared for war with Russia.”

Medvedev also called statements by Western politicians about a possible conflict extremely dangerous chatter.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Moscow calls on Western countries, primarily EU member states, not to attribute to Russia the intention to start a war in Europe and not to impose this ideology on it.

President Vladimir Putin emphasized that Moscow has no interest in a conflict with NATO.
