Dmitry Medvedev sent a message to the other side of the Atlantic and warned the US not to take on Russia over the war in Ukraine, as Moscow is a nuclear power.
"The idea of punishing a country that has one of the largest nuclear arsenals is absurd. And potentially poses a threat to the existence of humanity," Medvedev, who is currently deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, wrote in a Telegram post.
At the same time, the former Russian president described the United States as an empire that has stained its hands with blood around the world, citing the extermination of indigenous Americans, US nuclear attacks on Japan and a series of wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan.
It should be noted that, according to Reuters, the Federation of American Scientists reports that Russia and the United States control 90% of the world's nuclear warheads, each having about 4.000 nuclear warheads in their military stockpiles.
