Quote from Medvedev: "Let's imagine that Russia is forced to use the most formidable weapons against the Ukrainian regime, which has committed a large-scale act of aggression that is dangerous for the very existence of our state. I believe that NATO will not directly interfere in the conflict even in this scenario. After all, the security of Washington, London, and Brussels for the North Atlantic alliance is much more important than the fate of an unnecessary Ukraine."
Details: Medvedev is convinced that NATO countries are not going to "die in a nuclear apocalypse", and therefore they will "swallow the use of any weapon" by Russia.
Background:
