"[Ukraine] must be destroyed to the ground... or the West will tear Russia to pieces"
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, warns that Ukraine is an existential threat.
The Washington Times recently described Dmitry Medvedev as the "Kremlin's bomb-thrower". In Russia, he’s considered a patriot, and one of Putin’s strongest allies. Medvedev was Prime Minister (2012–2020). Currently he’s the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
He posted strong words on Telegram on Saturday, about the war in Ukraine as Russia’s existential threat.
The defeat of the West in the Ukrainian direction is inevitable. And let their leaders, who have forgotten about their own citizens, shout with each other that they will support the stubs of the Square with weapons and money for as long as it takes.
They will train soldiers for the Kyiv meat-packing plant, they will restore the ruins of the dying economy of the Bandera regime. Will maintain insane sanctions against Russia. It won't help.
Why? For them, this is a strange war in which people who are strangers to them are dying. And although they do not feel sorry for them, the West will never go beyond the fact that it will begin to harm its interests too much. No matter how loudly he laments at his summits and at the UN. Someone else's war sooner or later becomes boring, costly and irrelevant.
And for us it is a tragedy involving our people. This is an existential conflict. War for self-preservation. Either they or we.
Some time will pass. Western authorities will change, their elites will get tired and beg for negotiations and a freeze on the conflict. Any counteroffensive will fizzle out. The dead will be buried, the wounds will be licked.
But we must not stop until the current, inherently terrorist Ukrainian state is completely dismantled. It must be destroyed to the ground. Or rather, so that even the ashes from it did not remain. So that this abomination could never, under any circumstances, be reborn. If it takes years or even decades, then so be it. We have no choice: either we will destroy their hostile political regime, or the collective West will eventually tear Russia to pieces. And in this case, he will perish with us. Nobody needs this.
Therefore, the only way is the complete disposal of the state machine of a hostile country and absolute guarantees of loyalty for the future. They can only be given by Russia's control over everything that is happening and will happen in the territories of the former Bandera state. And we will achieve it.
Western media has failed to cover speeches by Russia’s leaders, except to use extracts to inflammatory effect. In future, I will post some of those so that you have more information to make up your own mind.
