To useful idiots who honestly believe in negotiating with Putin
[QUOTE]Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president and prime minister, said on Wednesday that Russia will seek to occupy "remaining Ukrainian lands" even if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agrees to the Kremlin's most recent conditions for peace.
Medvedev, now deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, "reaffirmed that Russia would not accept or uphold any negotiated peace settlements with Kyiv short of Ukrainian capitulation, the destruction of the entire Ukrainian state, and the full occupation of Ukraine," the Institute for the Study of War, a U.S.-based think tank, said in its latest analysis of the conflict in Ukraine.
In a post on his Telegram channel, Medvedev said Zelensky agreeing to Putin's most recent conditions for peace will not constitute the "end of the Russian military operation" in Ukraine.
"Even after signing the papers and accepting defeat, the remaining radicals, after regrouping their forces, will sooner or later return to power, inspired by Russia's Western enemies. And then the time will come to finally crush the reptile. To drive a long steel nail into the coffin lid of Bandera's quasi-state," he said.
Russia will eventually return "remaining Ukrainian lands to the bosom of the Russian land," Medvedev wrote.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-peace-talks-medvedev-war-1923713[/URL]
