The meeting will discuss the possibility of Germany sending Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine in defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow, at NATO\u2019s Ramstein base, the great military leaders will discuss new tactics and strategies, as well as the supply of new heavy weapons and strike systems to Ukraine,\u201d Medvedev wrote in <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/s\/medvedev_telegram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Telegram post.<\/a> \u201cAnd this was right after the forum in Davos, where underdeveloped political party-goers repeated like a mantra: \u2018To achieve peace, Russia must lose.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it never occurs to any of the wretches to draw the following elementary conclusion from this: the loss of a nuclear power in a conventional war can provoke the outbreak of a nuclear war,\u201d He continued. \u201cThat nuclear powers have not lost major conflicts on which their fate depends. But this should be obvious to anyone.\u00a0Even a Western politician who has retained any trace of intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev may be shooting to replace Putin if he dies or is forced from office; in late October, he visited Russia\u2019s main tank plant in Nizhny Tagil, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/the-war-zone\/russias-medvedev-threatens-defense-industry-arrests-during-tank-plant-visit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asserted,<\/a> \u201cThe production of weapons and special equipment of all types is increasing manyfold: from tanks and guns to high-precision missiles and drones. Brace yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he threatened to snap at arms manufacturers if they failed to deliver tanks and missiles promptly for the war against Ukraine. \u201cThe goal has been set for a scrupulous execution of the government\u2019s defense contracts in all of its key parameters, [and] prevention of disruptions in the supply of equipment. Attention has been drawn to the fact that all contractors could be held to account, including on criminal charges\u2026 Supervision over the execution will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday,\u00a0Ukraine pushed for Western allies to quickly send tanks and air defenses to Kyiv; \u201cWe have no time, the world does not have this time,\u201d Andriy Ermak, the head of the Ukrainian presidential government, said. \u201cThe question of tanks for Ukraine must be closed as soon as possible. Just like the questions of additional air defense systems. We are paying for the slowness with the lives of our Ukrainian people. \u2026 It shouldn\u2019t be like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain, France, Poland, and Poland already have pledged to send tanks into Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former president of Russia and current deputy chairman of Russia\u2019s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, warned on Thursday that if Russia loses its war with Ukraine, it might resort to using nuclear weapons.
