Vladimir Putin’s top ally Dmitry Medvedev, the chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation has claimed that Germany is “preparing for war.”
This comes as Russia intercepted secret military communications of a German air chief discussing UK “troops on the ground” in Ukraine.
Russia has warned that that this shows NATO are “preparing for war” and the German ambassador Alexander Graf Lambsdorffl was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
During one of Medvedev rants he said that German Air Force officers had discussed sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
Medvedev said, “Attempts to present the conversation of Bundeswehr [German military] officers as a game of rockets and tanks are a malicious lie.
“Germany is preparing for war with Russia.”
Medvedev has also ruled out any peace talks with Ukraine under the current leadership and that Russia will continue with the so called “special military operation.”
He said on Monday that historical parts of Russia should “return home” and until Kyiv concedes the war will continue to rage.
He added, “One of Ukraine’s former leaders said at some point that Ukraine is not Russia.
That concept needs to disappear forever. Ukraine is definitely Russia.”
Medvedev then warned that relations between Washington and Moscow are now far worse than during the Cuban missile crisis when the world came dangerously close to a nuclear war.
Medvedev has previously warned there be a “river of blood” as there is real threat of a “direct clash between Russia and NATO.”
