A key ally of Vladimir Putin has warned that the “Horsemen of the Apocalypse are on their way” in a thinly-veiled swipe at western leaders.
Dmitry Medvedev warned that Moscow would attack cities in the west if Ukraine used missiles provided by the United States to attack Russia.
The 56-year-old, who served as president of Russia from 2008-2012 after Putin was forced to stand down due to term limits, is currently deputy head of Russia’s national security council.
