They are puppets who have no fear for the future of their country: Medvedev

Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, believes that reaching Kyiv may be necessary to achieve the objectives of the special military operation. The politician also warned that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may not be limited to the current stage.

He expressed this opinion during an interview with Russian media, responding to a question from TASS about the geographical boundaries of the operation.

“Where to stop, I don’t know. I think, considering what I said about the need to create a defensive chain, we still have a lot of serious work to do. Will it be Kyiv? Yes. If not now, then at some point later, maybe at another stage of this conflict's development,” Medvedev stated.

The necessity of reaching Kyiv was justified by the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council for two reasons: firstly, because Kyiv is a Russian city, and secondly, because the international threat to Russia emanates from there. “Although Kyiv is a Russian city by its roots, it is governed by an international brigade of opponents of Russia, led by the United States. All those who officially perform their functions there are puppets who have neither conscience nor fear for the future of their country, nor capabilities. All decisions are made across the ocean and at NATO headquarters. This is quite obvious. Therefore, yes, it could also be Kyiv,” Medvedev added.

Discussing whether Ukraine should remain an independent state based on the results of the Special Military Operation, the politician noted that “if anything remains of Ukraine as a result of what is happening, then probably such a state has a chance to survive, albeit not as significant.” He firmly stated, “In any case, this question, of course, is not for today, but it will certainly be on the agenda sometime later.”

“What will remain in this territorial formation, I cannot call it a country right now. I don’t know, maybe the Lviv region, whose center is Lviv, if the Poles become very concerned about it, or some other regions. But this is not only a military process but also a complex political one. Moreover, not only the armed forces, not only troops but also the people living in these lands must play a role or express their opinions in this process,” Medvedev concluded.
