Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev |
Russian Prime Minister
Dmitry Medvedev has warned the West against launching ‘hasty wars’,
which may increase regional tensions and even trigger a nuclear war. "Sometimes these [military] actions -- which undermine state
sovereignty -- could result in a fully-fledged regional war, and even --
although I do not want to scare anyone -- the use of a nuclear weapon",
Medvedev was quoted by AFP as saying on Thursday during a legal forum
in Saint Petersburg. USZ Attorney General Eric Holder and some other top international
dignitaries and legal scholars also made speeches during the event.
Russia has been at odds with the Western powers over the best way to
manage the ongoing violence in Syria, which has led to many deaths over
the past year. Moscow, along with Beijing, has so far vetoed two anti-Syria
resolutions, saying a solution to the Syrian crisis must be sought
through political dialogue. Russia was also opposed to the NATO-led war in Libya last year,
which has left many civilians dead following the ouster of the country’s
former dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.
The former Russian president replaced the country's newly-elected President Vladimir Putin as Russia's prime minister on May 7.
