The ex-presidentβs warning comes after Poland said Washington would hit Russian targets if Moscow were to use nukes in Ukraine.
Any US attack on Russian targets in Ukraine would automatically trigger a world war, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned.
The official, who currently serves as Deputy Chair of Russiaβs Security Council, made the remarks after Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski claimed Washington had threatened to conduct such a strike should Russia use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Medvedev suggested that Sikorski βapparently, has decided to scare his masters.β He noted that Washington, unlike Warsaw, has so far refrained from making any such threats publicly βbecause they are more cautiousβ than the Poles.
βAmericans hitting our targets means starting a world war, and a Foreign Minister, even of a country like Poland, should understand that,βΒ Medvedev added.
