Since Russia must use nuclear weapons if Russian territory is conquered, the rest of the world should pray that the Russian army can stand up to Ukraine.

Russian ex-president Dmitry Medvedev claims this on Sunday:

- Our soldiers prevent a worldwide nuclear conflagration from breaking out.

On Sunday, Fleet Day is celebrated in Russia. In a post on his Telegram channel, Dmitry Medvedev, ex-president and now vice-chairman of the Russian Security Council, praises the Russian navy.

In addition, he takes the opportunity to threaten the world with Russian nuclear weapons, if Russian territory is conquered by Ukraine:

- Our army, repelling the counterattack of our collective enemy, protects the citizens of Russia and our earth. It is obvious to any decent person. But in addition to this, they also prevent a worldwide conflict, writes Medvedev and continues:

- Because if you imagine that the advance of the Ukrainians with the support of NATO would succeed and they would conquer a piece of our territory, then we would use nuclear weapons in accordance with the decree of the Russian president from June 2, 2020. There is no other way out.

- Therefore, our enemies should pray for our soldiers. They are the ones who prevent a worldwide nuclear conflagration from breaking out, writes Medvedev.
