Newspaper Newsweek tried to get an answer from the Russian Foreign Ministry by email. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chair of the Russian Security Council and a close friend of Putin, said that “blood will flow” and criticized U.S. President Joe Biden’s government in a scary warning of a possible Third World War. Concerned about Biden’s request to Congress for more help for Ukraine in its war with Russia, Medvedev called it “basic blackmailing.” Medvedev talked about the increased risk of a direct conflict between Russia and NATO on X (formerly Twitter). He said that this kind of threat has not been as real since the Cuban Missile Crisis. He said that the Biden administration wanted to go to war no matter what, saying that money would go to the government and its supporters and that “new blood rivers” would be made.
President Biden asked Congress to approve security funds for Ukraine before the holidays, stressing how important it was to protect freedom and stand up to Putin. But Senate Republicans changed the subject to worries about border security instead of the cash request. House Speaker Mike Johnson brought up Republican demands for answers on the administration’s plan for Ukraine. They insisted on changes to laws about border security and openness about how government money is spent. The discussion becomes intense, which makes it clear how important it is to have a full understanding of the goals and means.
