Russia does not want a global conflict, Medvedev says

On Monday, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said Russia is not interested in a global conflict and warned the world was getting very dangerous.
Amid resumed contacts with Washington, Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine triggered the biggest West-Moscow confrontation since the Cold War, and Trump's envoys are trying to negotiate an end to the war.
Medvedev said, 'They say 'No way- these Russians are making it all up- they are sowing horror stories and they will never do anything,' at his residence outside Moscow.
Medvedev warned escalation could lead to a nuclear 'apocalypse' and stated 'A global conflict cannot be ruled out,' emphasizing Russia's stance.
Medvedev's remarks expose hardline thinking within Russia's elite, while Russian president Vladimir Putin remains the final voice on policy as Medvedev dismissed Western claims about threats to Greenland and referenced global flashpoints including Venezuela.
