TLDR

- Medvedev warned that a conflict between Russia and Germany could lead to the end of European civilization.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has once again issued a strong condemnation of Germany and the West, accusing Berlin of engaging in a policy of 'revenge' and attempting to revise the outcomes of World War II. In a fiery statement published on the occasion of Victory Day, Medvedev asserted that Germany never underwent a 'true denazification' and that former Nazi party members infiltrated the post-war state apparatus. He further accused German authorities of viewing Russia as a primary security threat and seeking its 'strategic defeat.' Medvedev's rhetoric, particularly sharp towards discussions in Germany about a potential military conflict with Russia by 2029 and the strengthening of European defense, paints a stark picture of escalating tensions. He contends that the EU and NATO are pursuing aggressive policies against Moscow, framing Western support for Ukraine as an 'anti-special military operation.' The former president's pronouncements, increasingly strident and anti-Western, reflect a hardline Kremlin stance. Medvedev's warnings about the potential for a Russia-Germany conflict leading to the 'end of European civilization' serve as a stark reminder of the deep-seated animosity and the high stakes involved in the current geopolitical climate. From a Russian perspective, these statements are framed not as mere threats, but as dire warnings against what is perceived as Western provocation and historical revisionism.
