Vučić: If NATO carries out preventive strikes on Russia, Russia will respond even more strongly

Speaking about preventive strikes on Russia, he reminded the public that he had already spoken on this topic.

“When I spoke about it, everyone said I was a ‘drama queen.’ Unfortunately, this is reality. The successes of the Russian army on the front lines are significant, and even the NATO Secretary-General could confirm that,” Vučić said.

“It is only necessary to read and watch carefully. This is the reality we live in. The Russian army has achieved significant successes on the front, which anyone looking at things objectively must acknowledge. Just look at the capture of Pokrovsk, Lyman, Vovchansk — they are at the gates of several more cities,” he added.

However, Vučić emphasized that at that time, Russia had exercised some restraint.

“But if there are preventive strikes on Russia, I would not be surprised by an incomparably stronger response from Russia, including tactical nuclear weapons. In the world we live in, nothing can be ruled out. When blood and adrenaline hit the head, very few want to think about peace and compromise. Everyone only wants their own victory and the defeat of the other side,” Vučić said.
