Medvedev Warns of World War III Amidst Escalating Rhetoric
Dmitry Medvedev,former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of Russia’s security Council,has onc again issued stark warnings about the potential for a third world War,adding to a pattern of extreme and ideological statements. These recent remarks come in the context of ongoing international tensions and discussions surrounding the conflict in Ukraine.
Medvedev’s pronouncements have previously included threats of atomic attacks.In May,he reacted strongly to comments made by Donald Trump,who had criticized Russia’s actions in Ukraine and suggested that President putin was “playing with fire.” In response, Medvedev posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “There is only one really bad thing – Third World War II. I hope Trump understands it!”
keith Kellogg, the US envoy to Ukraine, deemed Medvedev’s statements perilous and irresponsible. Kellogg responded on X, calling Medvedev’s comments “regrettable and reckless” and “unworthy for a world power,” adding that “President Trump is working to stop this war and end the killings.”
Medvedev served as Russia’s third president from 2008 to 2012, during which time Vladimir putin held the position of Prime Minister.This arrangement was due to constitutional term limits that prevented Putin from serving consecutive presidential terms. Following his presidency, Medvedev served as Prime Minister until 2020, before being appointed to his current role in the Russian Security Council.
