Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has suggested that the troops may have to march onto cities as far as Kyiv or Lviv in Ukraine amid reports that Moscow was facing significant setbacks in the battle in the east.
Considered a strong ally of President Vladimir Putin, Medvedev's statement may have unwittingly given away the position Kremlin finds itself in currently.
“Nothing can be ruled out here. If you need to get to Kyiv, then you need to go to Kyiv, if to Lviv, then you need to go to Lviv in order to destroy this infection,” Medvedev was quoted as saying by Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
The battle for the eastern city of Bakhmut has significantly drained the resources of the Russian side, according to multiple media reports. Since the war began over a year ago, no place has witnessed a battle as fierce as Bakhmut.
Medvedev, who served as Russia's president from 2008 to 2012, has emerged as one of the most hawkish leaders in recent times — routinely issuing blustery and hyperbolic statements.
Earlier this week, he issued a hypersonic missile attack threat to the International Criminal Court (ICC) after the global organisation issued an arrest warrant against Putin.
"I'm afraid, gentlemen, everyone is answerable to God and missiles. It's quite possible to imagine how a hypersonic Oniks fired from a Russian warship in the North Sea strikes the court building in the Hague," Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
"It can't be shot down, I'm afraid. And the court is just a pathetic international organisation, not the people of a NATO country. So, they won't start a war. They'll be scared. And no one will be sorry."
Putin's top ally previously said that a civil war will break out in the US in 2023 and that if Russia lost in the ongoing war, it could provoke the beginning of a 'nuclear war'.
He also stated that any attempt to arrest Putin will be considered a declaration of war against Russia.
1,020 Russian troops had been killed over the previous 24 hours as they launched unsuccessful attacks on the towns of Lyman, Avdiivka, Marinka and Shakhtarske.
Putin and Medvedev need to go to Spandau!
I hear the cells occupied by Hess and Dönitz are still available!

Best I can figure is that Medvedev is angling for a plea of insanity, later on...
Russia is part of Ukraine, Medvedev said.
The Russians believed that they would be welcomed, at least by the Russian-speaking Ukrainians. Instead, Russia has united Ukraine, both Ukrainian-speakers and Russian-speakers.
In like manner, Russia is alienating its current outlying regions, drafting their boys and sending them into the meatgrinder war in Ukraine, while not sending the boys of the Moscow region or the Saint Petersburg region.
In order to de-Nazify the country, yes, they’ll have to take the whole country.
Dream on. Germans and their weird obsession with attacking Russia…
“Reports”, “multiple media reports”
More of the current fare being shoveled out over at the gubmint/media masters’ feeding trough. I’m glad you were able to eat your fill. More stooge click bait.

Ain’t gubmint.
He sounds like their John McCain.

China’s leader, Xi Jinping, appears to be using the leverage he has gained over Russia in the wake of the Ukraine war.

######## Loser Putin hahhahhahah
Oh so you now realise that Medvedev saying “Ukraine is part of Russia” belies what you have been saying so far? That Pooptin just wanted the east?
“In order to de-Nazify the country, yes, they’ll have to take the whole country.”
Roooskie Land needs to be de-Putinized. Hit the Kremlin from orbit. Its the only way to be sure. After this, Roooskies will be dancing in the streets. And handing out free Borscht and vodka everywhere.
don't put your evil on God a-hole.
Thou shalt not kill
And Upper Manchuria is part of China. Once Russia is weak enough, there won’t be anything stopping China from reclaiming their historical territory.
'Need to go to Kyiv or Lviv’If it were America we could do it in a day or two.
