One of Vladimir Putin’s top allies has issued a chilling warning as he threatened to bring Russian tanks to a European capital.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened to have Russian soldiers march over Berlin in response to what he branded a “revanchist” article published on the German tabloid Bild.
Medvedev has been known to fuel World War 3 concerns since the start of the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Over the past two and a half years, he has repeatedly claimed Moscow would be ready to deploy its nuclear arsenal on Ukraine’s allies in NATO who have been providing Kyiv with military aid.
In his latest social media rant, Medvedev claimed that the German tabloid “published a revanchist article where it proudly announces German tanks’ come back to the Russian land.”
Nazi German tanks entered the Soviet Union in June 1941 as part of Operation Barbarossa, the largest land offensive of World War 2 and in history.
Writing on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, Medvedev said: “In response, we’re going to do everything to bring the newest Russian tanks to Platz d. Republik.”
Platz der Republik, one of Berlin’s most prominent public squares, is home to the Reichstag, the main building hosting the German Bundestag (Parliament).
Germany has been contributing to Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russia since the start of the invasion.
Berlin has provided Kyiv with several Leopard tanks and recently recognised Ukraine’s right to self-defence following the start of a cross-border operation in the Russian region of Kursk.
The German Foreign Ministry said: “Ukraine has the right to self-defence enshrined in international law. This is not limited to its own territory.”
