Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev described Ukraine as part of Russia in a public speech. It is not possible to revive the Soviet Union, the deputy chairman of the National Security Council said on Monday, according to the RIA news agency. But ‘historical parts’ of Russia should ‘return’.
Putin’s confidant thus once again confirms the imperialist fantasies of the Russian leaders. However, Medvedev left it open which countries this would have consequences for. However, Moldova, Poland and the Baltic states have been warning about the Kremlin’s expansion plans since the start of the war.
Comparison with the Cuban Missile Crisis
Medvedev also commented on the US. He classified Russia’s relations with the United States as extremely poor. Tensions are worse than during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest confidante believed that US special forces and military advisers were waging a war against Russia.
Former USSR states are now NATO members:
German political leaders also criticized Medvedev in connection with the wiretapping scandal in the Bundeswehr. Russia will “show control, but not forget.” Peace talks with the “current Ukrainian government are not possible.” The “military operation” will therefore continue until “the other side surrenders.”
Berlin under pressure
In the Taurus wiretapping scandal, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius called for caution and unity. No one believes that the publication of the recording of a conversation between German Bundeswehr officers about Taurus cruise missiles for Ukraine was a coincidence, Pistorius said in Berlin on Sunday. “This is clearly about undermining our unity. It’s about breaking up our domestic politics.”
Pistorius warned that German politicians should not make the mistake of falling for Russian President Vladimir Putin. “It’s part of an information war that Putin is waging.”
