Russia does not want a global conflict but the world seems very dangerous, Medvedev says

MOSCOW: Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said that the world was getting very dangerous but that Russia did not want to be dragged into a global conflict.

“The situation is very dangerous,” Medvedev told Reuters, TASS and the WarGonzo Russian war blogger in an interview at his residence outside Moscow.

“The pain threshold is decreasing.”

“We are not interested in a global conflict. We’re not crazy. It’s been said a hundred times. Who needs a global conflict?” he said.

“Unfortunately, a global conflict cannot be ruled out.”
