If Ukraine strikes Crimea, there will be no negotiations.

Short strikes will only be carried out on all territories under the control of Kiev.

APA's Moscow correspondent reports that this was stated by the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.

"In this case, there will be no negotiations, only retaliatory strikes.

All of Ukraine under the control of Kiev will burn.

Our answer can be anything.

The Russian president said this categorically," Medvedev said in response to a question about whether Russia will be forced to negotiate with Ukraine by striking Crimea.

Medvedev explained that Russia does not impose any restrictions on itself and is ready to use all types of weapons in accordance with doctrinal documents, including the principles of nuclear threat prevention, depending on the nature of threats.

"I can assure you: the answer will be quick, tough and convincing," the politician added.
