Russia has enough conventional weapons to wipe out the entire Ukrainian capital. This is stated by Dmitrij Medvedev, Russia's former president and currently deputy head of the Russian Security Council, in a statement on Telegram.
This could be the country's response if Ukraine receives long-range weapons from the West with the intention of using them against targets within Russia.
He also claims that Russia could use nuclear weapons, since Ukrainian forces have entered the Kursk region, but believes it is not necessary. Instead, Russia can use "new weapon technology" to devastate Kiev.
President Vladimir Putin warned NATO earlier in the week about the consequences of donating this type of weapon to Ukraine.
If this happens, we will, taking into account the changed conflict, take appropriate measures based on the threats we face, he said.
