Military intervention in the sovereign affairs of other states may lead to outright war, including
nuclear war, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.
“The introduction of all sorts of collective sanctions bypassing international institutions does not improve
the situation in the world while reckless military operations in foreign states usually end up with radicals
coming to power,” he told an international legal forum in St. Petersburg.
“At some point such actions, which undermine state sovereignty, may well end in a full-blown regional war
and even - I’m not trying to spook anyone - the use of nuclear weapons,” he said.
The right of nations to choose their own path of development is a universal value, he said referring
to the situation in Syria and the Middle East as a whole ahead of a G8 summit.
