« Russia can use nuclear weapons if similar weapons of mass destruction are used against Moscow or its allies, if it receives verified information about launching ballistic missiles to attack its territory, in case of conventional aggression if the existence of the state is in danger". This was stated by the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in an interview with the Russian news agency Tass.

Medvedev explained that Russia does not place restrictions on itself and, depending on the nature of the threats, can use all types of weapons , "in accordance with our doctrinal documents, including the Fundamental Principles of Nuclear Deterrence ". "I can assure you that the response will be quick, hard and convincing," he added. The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council then called the opinion of Western politicians erroneous , who believe that the transfer of weapons to Ukraine for attacks on Russian territory will contribute to a diplomatic solution of the situation : «The result will be exactly the opposite . In this case, there will be no negotiations, there will only be retaliatory strikes. All Ukraine remaining under Kievan rule will burn."

Meanwhile, Germany has announced that it has collected evidence of war crimes in Ukraine: Attorney General Peter Frank said, adding that he sees the need for an international trial . “Currently, we are focusing on mass killings in Bucha or attacks against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Russia's leaders and those who implement decisions at the highest military level should be held to account. We are preparing for a possible subsequent judicial process, whether we in Germany, or with our foreign partners, or before an international court,” said Frank.
