As the Kremlin reacts with restraint to the Chinese peace plan, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warns of a nuclear apocalypse.
According to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the continued supply of arms to Ukraine carries the risk of a global nuclear catastrophe. Of course, the "sending of arms" could continue and "prevent any possibility of the resumption of negotiations," the deputy head of the National Security Council told the pro-government daily Izvestia.
"Our enemies are doing just that, and they don't want to understand that their goals will surely result in a total fiasco. A loss for all. A collapse, an apocalypse. Where for centuries people will forget their former life, until the ruins and debris stop radiating," said Medvedev.
Restrained reaction to Chinese peace plan
Even regarding the Chinese 12-point plan to end the war, the Moscow government currently sees no conditions for a "peaceful" solution. "We are carefully examining the plan of our Chinese friends," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "But at the moment we see no preconditions for things to go towards peace," Peskov said, adding that the "special military operation" in Ukraine is continuing.
On the first anniversary of the beginning of the Russian occupation, China presented a document in which, among other things, it calls for a cease-fire and negotiations. Western diplomats and experts reacted with skepticism and disappointment, as the twelve-point document did not bring any new ideas. In addition, China is considered a close ally of Russia and has never clearly condemned the invasion of Ukraine.
