On September 14, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, former President Dmitry Medvedev warned that if nuclear weapons were used, there would be a "huge gray melt" in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
According to Radio Free Europe (RFE), Russian officials have repeatedly warned that the West's decision to allow Kiev to use donated weapons to strike deeper into the territory of the Russian Federation would lead to a major escalation in the war against Ukraine, possibly including the use of nuclear weapons.
Most recently, on September 14, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Kiev could turn into a “melting gray spot” if restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons were eased.
Politico added that the threat from Mr. Medvedev, who is currently Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, came as the US and UK are considering granting Kiev permission to use Western weapons to attack strategic targets further into the territory of the Russian Federation.
According to Mr. Medvedev, the Kremlin had "official grounds" to use nuclear weapons after Ukraine launched a cross-border incursion into the Russian Federation's Kursk province.
However, a nuclear conflict is “a very bad story with a very difficult outcome” and that is why Moscow has not decided to use “non-strategic or strategic” nuclear weapons so far.
If that happens, RFE quoted Mr. Medvedev's statement on his Telegram account on September 14 saying there would be a "huge gray melt" in Kiev.
Kiev has repeatedly said it needs the ability to launch longer-range strikes into Russian territory to defend itself against Moscow's forces.
On September 13, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated Kiev's call to expand the scope of use of Western weapons.
“We are making progress on the battlefield. But we need permission to use long-range weapons,” Mr Zelensky said, expressing hope that “the American political community understands this and will make relevant decisions.”
However, in a statement after the meeting between US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on September 13, the White House did not mention this topic.
The statement said only that the two leaders discussed a range of issues and “reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine” as it continues to defend itself against Russian Federation forces.
