In a stark warning, senior Russian security official and ex-president Dmitry Medvedev has declared that Russia might obliterate Kyiv with non-nuclear weaponry. This provocative statement comes after Ukraine employed Western-supplied long-range missiles against Russia.

Medvedev emphasized that Russia already has legal justifications to deploy nuclear weapons due to Ukraine's actions in Russia's Kursk region. However, he suggested an alternative approach using advanced military technologies.

Medvedev's remarks on Telegram underscore the heightened tensions, stating, 'Holy shit! It's impossible, but it happened.' The situation remains fraught with the potential for significant escalation.
