Only Russia's complete and final victory in Ukraine will ensure safety from the global conflict that the West is pushing the world into, according to Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council.

"Let's call a spade a spade. Western countries are pushing the world to a global war. Only the complete and final victory of Russia will be a safeguard against a world conflict," he said in response to the Western countries’ frequent speculations to the effect that "Russia cannot be allowed to win the war."

Medvedev invited his subscribers to follow "simple formal logic."

"If it is not Russia that is expected to win, then, apparently, it is Ukraine. Ukraine’s aim in the war, proclaimed by the Kiev regime, is the retaking of all territories that previously belonged to it. In other words, their annexation from Russia. This is a threat to the existence of our state and the collapse of today's Russia," he stated.

This possibility directly supports the application of paragraph 19 of the fundamental principles of Russian state policy regarding nuclear deterrence, according to Medvedev. "Who is planning a nuclear conflict in reality, may I ask? What is this, if not a direct provocation of a world war with the use of nuclear weapons?" he said.

Paragraph 19 of the mentioned document stipulates the conditions under which Russia may use nuclear weapons, and they constitute reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territories of Russia or its allies, the enemy’s use of nuclear weapons or other types of weapons of mass destruction on the territories of Russia and its allies, and the enemy’s impact on Russia’s critical state or military facilities whose failure will incapacitate the retaliatory nuclear forces. 

Additionally, paragraph 19 lists an act of aggression against Russia using conventional weapons that threaten the state's very existence as one of these conditions, which Medvedev mentioned in his post.

The goal to mobilize 300,000 citizens in Russia has been completed, and no additional activities are necessary, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin on October 28.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin on Friday that the partial mobilization plan has been completed after drafting 300,000 individuals in Russia, including 1,300 executive branch employees.

"The task set by you, [to mobilize] 300,000 people, has been completed. No additional activities are planned," Shoigu said, adding that activities connected to the partial mobilization are ended.
