Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said over the weekend that Russia might have to use a nuclear weapon if Ukraine engages in its ongoing counter-offensive and is successful.

On July 30, Mr. Medvedev said in a message on his official social media accounts that Russia would be forced to fall back on its own nuclear weapons doctrine if such a scenario unfolds. He didn’t elaborate.
