VLADIMIR Putin should bomb the west as WW3 has already begun, Dmitry Medvedev has threatened.
The ex-Russian president has issued the explosive warning just days after Donald Trump imposed a 50-day peace deadline on his boss.
A top Russian official expressed outrage, claiming that NATO and the West are practically engaged in warfare against Russia, reflecting the Kremlin’s worldview that they are being victimized.
That’s despite it being Russia who has invaded another country and is continuing to wage a bloody war.
Medvedev accused the US and Europe of an attempt to “destroy” Russia which is “hated by the West”, he claimed.
Diplomats say his remarks give an indication of thinking among some within the Moscow political elite.
He stated: “What we’re witnessing today is a proxy war that is essentially a full-blown conflict (involving Western missile deployments, satellite intelligence, etc), comprehensive sanctions, and outspoken comments on Europe’s militarization.”
“It’s another attempt to destroy the ‘historical anomaly’ hated by the West – Russia, our country.”
Medvedev’s intense outburst follows Trump’s decision to provide Ukraine with missile defense systems and the potential imposition of severe 100 percent tariffs on Russia if Moscow fails to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine within 50 days.
Medvedev even said Russia should think about bombing the West.
He said: “We need to act accordingly. To respond in full. And if necessary, launch preemptive strikes.”
Despite saying Russia may need to bomb the West first, he said that any suggestion Russia would invade Nato was “complete nonsense”.
He said: “I would add that this nonsense is being deliberately thrown into the information space in order to destabilise an already difficult situation.
“This is another flank of the West’s open war against us.”
In his lunatic ravings, Medvedev also pushed the idea that Ukraine is governed by Nazis – despite Volodymyr Zelensky being Jewish.
The fabrication is a key justification in the Kremlin’s ambition to demilitarise Ukraine and keep it weak.
Medvedev’s rant came as a leading Russian propagandist Col. Igor Korotchenko said Moscow must use the 50-day period before sanctions are imposed by Trump to win the war by destroying Ukraine.
He asked on Kremlin-funded state TV: “What can we do during these 50 days to persuade Ukraine to conclude a peace agreement on terms that meet the goals, principles and objectives of [Putin’s war]?”
A military analyst and editor-in-chief of National Defence magazine, he said: “We can launch massive strikes against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
“I would like to emphasise once again that this primarily means power generation facilities.
“Any Russian frontline fighter jet, using new-generation low-profile Kh-69 cruise missiles, is capable of striking and accurately destroying any thermal power plant, oil refinery, or fuel depot in a first strike without attracting the attention of enemy intelligence.”
He made clear the aim was to make Ukraine so weak it is forced to sue for peace on Putin’s terms.
“Weakening the potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ rear support system will force Ukraine to accept Russia’s terms,” he said.
“It is necessary to intensify Russian strikes….to the maximum extent possible….
“Scaling up this approach, we can achieve success.”
Trump encouraged Ukraine’s President Zelensky during a phone call to strike deeper inside Russia in order to crank up the pressure on Putin, the FT reported.
He apparently asked whether Ukraine could “hit Moscow” in order to “make Putin feel the pain of war”, according to anonymous sources cited by the papers.
Zelensky’s answer was swift and direct: “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons.”
Putin’s indifference to Trump’s demand was evident just hours later when he unleashed a fresh devastating blitz.
In Sumy Oblast, Russian drones injured six people, including a 19-year-old student and 14-year-old girl, when they struck a university.
Putin’s soldiers killed ‘in mass poisoning by laced bottles of WATER’
VLADIMIR Putin’s men were reportedly killed by poisoned water bottles in a suspected Ukrainian sabotage operation.
At least four soldiers were said to have died in excruciating pain after drinking from bottles labelled “Our Water”, allegedly supplied to the front line in a humanitarian consignment.
Several others are said to be in critical condition in another major blow to Mad Vlad’s invasion of Ukraine.
The deadly incident, which unfolded in the Panteleimonivka area of Donetsk, has sparked horror and fury across pro-Kremlin military channels.
Distressing footage seen by The Sun shows poisoned troops convulsing, moaning in agony, and slipping into unconsciousness as medics scramble to help.
