Medvedev threatens the West with a nuclear strike – “worst case scenario”
He presses
Germany allowed Ukraine to use its weapons on Russian territory – and Medvedev, who is close to Putin, threatens NATO with a nuclear strike.
Moscow – Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedevhe have NATOCountries on Friday threatened a nuclear strike after some of them lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s use of weapons in the war against Russia. This is not the first time that the former president and a close associate of Putin has joined the Russian voices warning of an imminent escalation. In a long post on his Telegram channel, he directed his threats towards NATO. Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirmed that he wants to avoid a war between Russia and NATO.
In his post on Telegram, which was also reported by the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti Medvedev reportedly addressed “Western countries” that have allowed the use of long-range weapons against Russian territory — “regardless of whether these are old or new parts of our country.” “Military assistance” to Ukraine is not that, but rather “participation in the war” against Russia. According to Medvedev, it can also be considered a so-called “cause of war”, that is, a reason for declaring war.
„The final stage” – Medvedev threatens a nuclear strike
“A few years ago, they claimed that Russia would not enter into an open military conflict with the Bandiri regime so as not to antagonize the West. I was wrong. “There is war,” Medvedev writes. As with the unexpected attack on Ukraine, the “use of tactical nuclear weapons” could also become a miscalculation.
The former Russian president added: “As the Russian president rightly pointed out, the population density in European countries is very high.” The military conflict with “the West” is developing according to the “worst-case scenario,” and there is “an increase in the power of NATO weapons used.” Therefore, no one today can rule out that the conflict is entering its final stage.”
A close associate of Putin warns NATO of “harmful mistakes”
“Russia assumes that all long-range weapons used by former Ukraine are directly used by NATO armies,” Medvedev wrote in his contribution. His country will attack „both on the territory of former Ukraine and on the territory of other states” if attacks on Russian territory are launched from there.
Medvedev said it would be a „serious and harmful mistake” for NATO to act as if its support for Ukraine was a matter of „sovereign decisions of individual countries.” “Operation of long-range cruise missiles” or “sending contingents of troops to Ukraine” constitute a “dangerous escalation” of the conflict.
Despite the threat of a nuclear strike: Germany and the United States allow the use of weapons on Russian territory
Following the United States, and after a long debate on Friday, the federal government also allowed Ukraine to use weapons supplied to it against targets in Russia’s border area with the Kharkiv region. Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said during a visit to Moldova: “This decision is the right decision” and includes “all the systems we have delivered.”
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (Social Democratic Party) said about the use of German weapons: „We must avoid a major war – a war between Russia and NATO.” At the same time, Germany must guarantee „Ukraine’s ability to defend its independence and sovereignty.” Germany supplied Kiev, among other things, with self-propelled howitzers 2000 and the Mars 2 system.
On Thursday, US President Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to attack Russian military sites in the border region with American weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the lifting of restrictions as “a step forward towards the goal of enabling the defense of our population in the villages located on the border.”
NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg wants new help for Ukraine in the fight against Russia
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg proposed new aid to Ukraine worth at least 40 billion euros annually to NATO member states. On Friday, at the conclusion of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Prague, he said that Ukraine needs “long-term predictability.” According to Stoltenberg, the amount of 40 billion euros corresponds to the amount that the allies have raised together annually since the start of the Russian war of aggression in February 2022. “We have to maintain this level of support at least every year, and for as long as it is necessary,” the Norwegian said.
Only on Thursday did the federal government promise Ukraine another German arms package. “Its value is approximately 500 million euros,” a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Defense told the news agency. France Press agency. This includes deliveries “in the five categories of artillery, air defence, drones, endurance and protection”. (CES/AFP)

Biden also declined to undergo a mental health assessment in response to repeated requests from journalist George Stephanopoulos. “I take a cognitive test every day.

Stephanopoulos had previously asked Biden whether he would be willing to undergo an independent medical examination that would also include neurological and cognitive tests — and whether he would release the results.

The Hungarian government cancelled an appointment with Foreign Minister Baerbock in Budapest at short notice. In light of Prime Minister Orbán’s trip to Moscow, tensions have arisen between the two countries.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s trip to Budapest scheduled for Monday will not take place. According to the Foreign Ministry in Berlin, Hungary cancelled Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto’s appointment with Baerbock at short notice.
The office regretted the cancellation, as „a serious and sincere personal conversation between the two foreign ministers (…) would have been important in light of Prime Minister Orbán’s sudden and uncoordinated visit to Moscow.” The trip should therefore be rescheduled for a later date.
Criticism from the European Union and NATO
Despite widespread criticism from the European Union and Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday — just days after his country took over the presidency of the Council of the European Union. The topic was, among other things, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
In a joint press statement with Putin, Orban stressed that peace in Europe will not come by itself, but must be worked on by all parties. The positions of Moscow and Kiev are too far apart. An important step towards this was taken with the trip. He wants to continue on this path.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas accused Orban of using his country’s EU presidency to stir up trouble. Kallas is the designated successor to EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. Several EU representatives also stressed that Orban has no formal mandate to negotiate with Russia.

After the televised duel with Biden, Democrats are looking for alternatives. Poll shows: Michelle Obama could compete with Trump.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden is the loser in the first televised duel. That has worried his party colleagues. Some Democrats are now looking for a quick alternative to the 2024 U.S. election because Biden is so unpopular among the population. A July 1-2 poll found that only former first lady Michelle Obama could definitely beat former President Donald Trump.
In one Reuters/ Ipsos-Opinion poll With about 1,000 respondents, 50 percent of voters surveyed said they would vote for Obama if the election were held that day. Trump only got 39 percent of the pairing. With a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points, this is a clear winner for Obama, especially in contrast to Biden. In a Biden-Trump matchup, both candidates received 40 percent of eligible voters surveyed. Even compared to the other potential candidates surveyed, Obama was the only one who did significantly better.

Trump said loudly: Newsweek At a campaign event: “They interviewed everyone. I interviewed Michelle Obama, and her poll numbers were terrible. No, their poll numbers are terrible.” Obama fared much better than Trump (42%) and Biden (38%), not only in the hypothetical election result, but also in the popularity question, at 55%.
Current Vice President Kamala Harris trailed Trump by one percentage point in a hypothetical election (42% to 43%). California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the governor were further behind Trump, as was the governor of Illinois, known as J.B. Pritzker. In addition to Obama, Biden has performed better than other potential alternative candidates. “It’s hard to believe, but corrupt Joe Biden has better poll numbers than these people,” Trump said at a campaign event. The other Democrats on the list, however, remain largely unknown nationally. That would change quickly if he ran for president.
Just 'Barack Nostalgia’: 2024 US Election Likely to Remain a Trump-Biden Duel
“Polls showing that Michelle Obama could beat Donald Trump simply reflect nostalgia for Barack,” said Thomas Gift, director of the Centre for American Politics at University College London. Newsweek“It’s easy to beat the competition when you don’t have a political platform and aren’t being scrutinized like the 2024 presidential candidates.”
Gift described the idea that Michelle Obama could run for the Democratic nomination against Trump in the 2024 US election as fanciful. Obama has repeatedly said she does not want to run. Obama spokeswoman Crystal Carson confirmed that „Mrs. Obama supports the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.” NBC-News of the former first lady’s position.
