West miscalculated when it refused to provide security guarantees to Russia, threat of nuclear conflict has only grown— Medvedev

The West miscalculated when it failed to believe in President Putin’s resolve and refuse to provide security guarantees to Russia, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said, answering questions from reporters and social media users Wednesday.

"I have, you know, an impression that, until a certain moment, they did not believe and did not see the degree of resolve of Russia, its president, the commander-in-chief to do what we have done. And they miscalculated," the politician said.

He underscored: "The consequences are much more difficult than they could have been, had they signed the documents with us in December.".[TASS]

Not only has the threat of a nuclear conflict failed to vanish, but it has turned out to be more pressing, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dimity Medvedev told Russian reporters and users of the VK social network.

"Has the threat of a nuclear conflict gone away? No, it has not. It has increased," he stressed. "Each day of foreign weapons shipments to Ukraine will eventually bring closer this nuclear apocalypse," the politician warned.
