Putin Ally Warns Of Ballistic Missile Strikes on NATO

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has threatened to use ballistic missiles and warned of an "apocalypse" should there be a direct conflict between NATO and Moscow.

The deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia and ally of Vladimir Putin wrote on Telegram that there had been "dangerous chatter" on the chances of war between Moscow and NATO among political leaders of the bloc.

He said the military capabilities of the alliance would require an "asymmetric" response from Moscow in which "ballistic and cruise missiles with special warheads will be used to protect the territorial integrity of our country."

"This is based on our doctrinal military documents and is well known to everyone," wrote Medvedev in the post on Wednesday. "This is the notorious Apocalypse, the end of everything."

Medvedev was head of state between 2008 and 2012. Over the course of the war in Ukraine he has posted hawkish statements on his Telegram channel and issued numerous threats against the West.
