Medvedev warns of NATO Strikes; Escalation looms with NATO's Ukraine Support, Global Fear Rise|WATCH
Russian official Dmitry Medvedev hinted at potential strikes on NATO bases in Poland and Romania if Western long-range weapons continue to be used against Russia.
Highlighting NATO's alleged direct involvement in Ukraine's operations, Medvedev underscored the possibility of extreme scenarios while reiterating Russia's preference for peace on its terms. Escalation risks raise global fears of broader conflict.
The White House has officially confirmed a policy shift, allowing Ukraine to strike targets within Russia using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine now has the green light to deploy these weapons for immediate defensive needs, particularly in areas like Russia's Kursk region. This move follows heightened speculation over the past week, during which Kyiv reportedly used ATACMS in strikes on Russia’s Bryansk region.
The U.S. and NATO allies have continuously supplied advanced weaponry to Ukraine since 2022 while asserting that this support does not make them direct participants in the conflict. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of severe repercussions, including nuclear escalation, if NATO’s involvement crosses certain thresholds. In September, Putin emphasized that Kyiv's use of long-range weapons could alter the nature of the war, effectively drawing NATO into direct confrontation.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned that the deployment of the Oreshnik missile in Ukraine marks a pivotal shift in the ongoing conflict, with potentially severe consequences. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Medvedev stated that the missile's use could drastically change the course of Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine. This missile, fired in retaliation for Western weapons used against Russian territory, has the capability to reach targets across Europe, amplifying the risk of further escalation. Russian President Vladimir Putin echoed this sentiment, emphasising that the missile’s continued use would depend on security threats to Russia. Medvedev’s remarks come amid rising tensions over NATO’s involvement and the growing possibility of nuclear escalation in the conflict.

Dmitry Medvedev shared a video of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile striking a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk, clarifying that it wasn’t an ICBM, but a medium-range missile developed after the US withdrew from the INF Treaty. The strike responded to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles against Russian territory. Putin warned further actions by Ukraine and its allies would trigger a suitable response, emphasizing the Oreshnik’s speed makes it invincible to air defenses.
