Moscow should not negotiate with Washington on nuclear disarmament until the US “crawled” back to talks, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said.
“We don’t have any relations with the United States now,” the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
“They are at zero on the Kelvin scale... There is no need to negotiate with them yet. This is bad for Russia. Let them run or crawl back themselves and ask for it.”
The outburst comes after Russian troops were reported to be exhausted four months into their invasion of Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin’s are possibly running low on stocks of advanced cruise missiles, and are forced to fight without much skill, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.
It said: “For years, much of Russia’s air combat training has highly likely been heavily scripted and designed to impress senior officials, rather than to develop dynamic initiative amongst air crews.”
