Delhi: It has been almost 2 years since the war between Russia and Ukraine. But still the heat of war has not subsided. Russia’s attack on Ukraine continues. No one knows when the Russia-Ukraine war will erupt into World War III. However, by making the statement, Poland has added fuel to the Russia-Ukraine war. This is the reason why Russia has now threatened America with World War III. Former President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev has issued a stern warning. He said any American attack on Russian targets in Ukraine would lead to World War III. Former President Dmitry Medvedev is currently the Vice Chairman of Russia’s Security Council. He made this statement on the remarks of Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski. Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski claimed that the US would attack Russian targets if Moscow used nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Former President Dmitry Medvedev has criticized Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski by posting on social media platform X. “Apparently they have decided to intimidate their masters,” he said. Medvedev said that unlike Warsaw (Poland’s capital), Washington has been more cautious. America has not made such threats publicly. He said, ‘Targeting our locations by the Americans means starting a world war and even the foreign minister of a country like Poland should understand this.’
Does Poland want war too?
Former Russian President Medvedev also referenced recent comments by Polish President Andrzej Duda that Poland was willing to host US nuclear weapons if given the chance under NATO’s sharing mechanism. He warned that Warsaw would not be spared in the event of a nuclear conflict. Surely he too will burn in the fire of this war. He questioned whether this was the outcome the Polish leadership really wanted.
What did the Polish foreign minister say?
In an interview given to the British newspaper The Guardian, Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski expressed doubts about the possibility of a nuclear attack by Russia in Ukraine. He claimed that the US had warned Russia against a nuclear attack. The US has said that if Russia launches a nuclear attack, the US will retaliate against all Russian targets in Ukraine. Sikorsky called this warning a credible threat. He also said that China and India have also warned Russia against a nuclear attack.
Poland continues to stoke more fires?
From the statement given by the Polish foreign minister, it seems that they are fanning the flames of war even more. In an interview with the newspaper, he further argued that Ukraine’s Western allies should allow Kiev to use their weapons to target military sites inside Russia. He said, ‘Russia will not be left with many options other than not to use nuclear weapons. Sikorsky urged the European Union to avoid escalating tensions and avoid self-imposed sanctions over the Ukraine conflict, leaving Moscow uncertain about the West’s next move.
What is Russia’s stance on nuclear attacks?
Let us tell you that America and its allied countries have accused Moscow of nuclear attack. While Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted in March that Russia had never used nuclear weapons during the Ukraine conflict. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that Russia’s nuclear doctrine allows for the use of such weapons only when the country’s existence is threatened. According to him, Russia considers nuclear weapons as farewell weapons. Let us tell you that the war between Russia and Ukraine started in February 2022.
