Senior Kremlin official Dmitry Medvedev has issued a stark warning that the world is becoming increasingly dangerous, even as Russia insists it does not want a global conflict. In remarks released on Monday, the former Russian president said the risk of escalation is growing and warned that a global war cannot be ruled out. Medvedev praised U.S. President Donald Trump for resuming contacts with Moscow, calling renewed dialogue encouraging, but accused Western powers of repeatedly ignoring Russia’s core security interests.
