On January 18, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz predicted that hostilities would end only with Russia’s military defeat. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev wrote on a social network that Russia is one of the nuclear powers, so “the loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war could provoke the start of a nuclear war.” Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov believes that “this is in full accordance with our nuclear doctrine.” Assessing the two years of Biden’s presidency, the Kremlin spokesman said that relations between Russia and the United States are of low value and there is no hope for their improvement in the foreseeable future. Contacts between the nuclear powers are lowered to the level of a representative of the special services and the military department. Nevertheless, in 2022, two agreements were held.
The State Department condemned Medvedev’s allusions to the possibility of nuclear war that were linked to military misfits in Ukraine. “This is not the first time we have heard such rhetoric from Russia as a whole,” Deputy State Department spokesman Pavel Vedant said at a briefing. “In truth, we are translating that provocative rhetoric against the United Nations is not only dangerous, but also reckless,” he added.
