The nuclear blackmail of former Russian President

Dmitry Medvedev

is just empty threats.

This was stated by the adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mykhailo Podolyak in an interview with Channel 24.

Podolyak said that he doubts whether Medvedev has ever seen the "nuclear button" because he recklessly scatters threats.

"They definitely didn't put it in his hands, because it's not just a monkey with a grenade, it's an infusion in shoes. They were probably afraid to entrust him with such a mission. But again, who's talking about what, and when Medvedev gets to the keyboard, he starts talking about nuclear threats ", Podolyak noted.

In his opinion, after Russia's defeat in the war, Medvedev will be one of the first to try to justify himself and testify that he threatened nuclear weapons under duress.

"He, as a lawyer, will very quickly find a formula for why he is useless here. He will say that he has been under the influence of stimulants for a long time. He will give his blood for analysis and it will be found that he has been under the influence of those strange, illusory stimulants for decades . But in the meantime, his hands did not write anything," added the adviser to the head of the OP.

Podolyak also reminded that Russia's nuclear threats in general look strange, because it was Russia that attacked Ukraine.

It will be recalled that Medvedev said that Russia's loss in a full-scale war with Ukraine would trigger the start of a nuclear war.

In particular, Medvedev's threats were heard on the eve of the meeting of the contact group on the defense of Ukraine at the Ramstein air base, which took place on January 20.

"Nuclear states have not lost major conflicts on which their fate depends. This should be obvious to any person. Even a Western politician who has preserved at least some traces of intelligence," he said.
