ukraine news razov vs italy russia nuclear threat

Italy blamed for the war in Ukraine. Russia claims that not only weapons but also men are coming to kyiv from our country. And while associations, groups and political movements are preparing for the demonstration for peace in Rome on November 5, the Vice-President of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, announces: “Ready to use nuclear power for the annexed regions” in Ukraine.

“The West – writes Medvedev on Telegram – is pushing the world towards a world war. Only Russian victory is a guarantee against world war. The West keeps saying, “Russia cannot be allowed to win.” What does it mean? If Russia does not win, Ukraine must win. And kyiv’s goal is the return of all the territories that belonged to it before. It is a threat to the very existence of our state. And this represents a direct reason for the application of clause 19 of the Fundamentals of the policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence. »

As if that were not enough, the Russian ambassador to Italy, Sergei Razov, declares: “I do not exclude” that Italy, in addition to arms, also sent men to Ukraine.

According to Tass reports, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu says Ukrainian troops continue to shell the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, evacuation points and humanitarian aid distribution sites.

“London Behind Pipeline Attack”

The new Russian accusations of an alleged British lead role in the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipeline and in coordinating the most recent Ukrainian raids in Crimea are part of the “reality deflection playbook” the Kremlin normally uses. So said a spokesman for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, reiterating London’s denial of claims rejected by Russia (which claims to have intelligence evidence). On October 31, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly accused Moscow of being “increasingly detached from reality” and only wanting to “distract attention” from its “battlefield failures”.
