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.
Wakey, wakey, Rip Van Winkle! It is 2023, the 21st century. Spandau Prison was demolished after Rudolf Hess died in August 1987. The West Germany government didn’t want it to become a neo-Nazi shrine, so it was demolished and a centre was built on the site, to provide for families of British military serving in West Berlin.
BTW, since you have been asleep so long, I’ll apprise you of some facts. Ronald Reagan is no longer President. The Soviet Union has ceased to exist. Germany has re-united. America and the West, is currently committing slow suicide by abandoning all sane values and adopting “values’ aimed at enslaving the population. We have multiple men in positions of power, who dress like women and insist that they are women, and the press and government refer to them as women.
You are better to go back to sleep. The past is much better than the present.
Russians aren't a menace anymore? LOL, explain that to Finland.
Says the guy in Germany rooting for the Ukranian Nazis.
Says the American sided patriot who currently lives in Germany, to the Russia war criminal sided Putin Stooge.
Who cares? This centuries old blood feud is not our problem. Did you forget what the Chicoms are doing to the Uyghurs? Why aren’t you demanding we send hundreds of billions in aid to the Uyghurs? You must be some kind of Xi stooge if you if you refuse to get involved in that quagmire. That situation is just as important to the US as keeping this hundred billion dollar Uke gravy train of corruption rolling. What about the other 25 hot spots around the world that need legitimate help? Oh, no cash laundromat for your DC oligarchs set up in those countries? Your media masters ignore all of these situations, and you follow right along.
Yup,the Somali Civil War should be just as important to the West as a Russian armored column trying to capture a European capitol. Makes sense.
Were you dining on this latest shovel full of disinfo over at the media masters’ feeding trough too? When will the Russians be rolling on Kiev? You globalist stooges really need to petition your media masters to coordinate their disinfo lies. Yesterday your FR globalist fellow travelers were reporting that the Wagner Group, long since out of ammo, were vacating Ukraine and heading to Africa. Are they stopping by Kiev on the way to club Vinyl Pants with their empty rifles? As usual with the laughable disinfo you big guy stooges regurgitate around here, let me know when it actually happens.
And you come here as one promoting war crimes and this week being charged with crimes against humanity.
What happened to that promised Russian Winter Offensive ( ™ )?No one is willing to give Putin bad news so they just add more places they can't win.
I’m glad you thought that through. Let’s compare and contrast. The Somalis and their globalist handlers never impeached Donald Trump for turning over the rock they were divvying up Somalia under. How many Somali prosecutors did your big guy have fired. How many Somali millions in payoffs can we trace back to your DC allies pockets? How many US divisions has your big guy redeployed to the Somali border? When’s the last time your big guy called for Somali regime change? How many nuclear armed subs do the Somalis have loitering off our coast? The NATO Charter is just as clear about a massive proxy war in Somalia as it is about a massive proxy war in Ukraine. We have the exact same treaty obligation in Somalia as we do in Ukraine that sanction any of this. How does spending hundreds of billions on Uke corruption keep your Warsaw Pact boogie man out of Berlin (pensions, really?) that blowing it on Mogadishu corruption wouldn’t? Those four tiny oblasts, the goal of the war until your globalists allies escalated this into a potential nuclear war, are about as important to the US as four tiny regions of Somalia. I always ask the Team Biden advocates here, who are you voting for? I know you’ll take the 5th (you all do) but I’ll ask anyway. The Putin stooges Trump and RdS are definitely out. Has Bolton declared? Don’t count out Hillary, she recognized Russia, Russia, Russia and Putin stooges like Trump and me out long before you did.
What about the other 25 hot spots around the world that need legitimate help?

Because it’s in Europe? And because the US has been responsible for maintaining stability in that region since 1941.
You might not like that, but that’s where we are.
(And, we’ve had troops in the Horn of Africa for about 30 years.)
Oh yeah, ex Russian gubmint official supposedly quoted, and for you it’s gospel and load up the nukes. Take a look at what your ex gubmint officials in DC are saying. Bolton, Clinton, Obama, Vindman, etc. along with the CURRENT ones. No, the latest shovel full from your media masters’ feeding trough has nothing to do with what I’ve said. You media stooges rant and rave about your latest disinfo and forget about it. I don’t. When no effort to take control of Ukraine, “part of Russia” ever occurs it’s nothing to you. You’ll be here peddling the latest, new improved disinfo BS.
How many Rooski knees has this traditional dance destroyed? File under >>> More dumb Russian stuffs, along with abuse of cheap-ass vodka. Putin drinks minimally or not at all. This helps him stay in power. __________ In the land of the blind (drunk) the one eyed man is King or fake Tsar.
Europe (Ukraine) is the war that matters. How ironic that 90% of FReepers are European derived. Yet they rattle on how they don't care about what goes on there (Ukraine) due to Globohomo. Or they Outright side with Imperialist Putin. Who is the latest iteration of ye ol USSR top honchos. Premier, I think they called Stalin, Brezhnev, Gorbachev.
There would be more support here for Ukraine, if we had not taken so many deaths and casualties in useless Muslim wars, in the useless Muslim nations of Iraq and Afghanistan. And blown trillions of dollars doing this.
“Because it’s in Europe? And because the US has been responsible for maintaining stability in that region since 1941.”
You can say the exact same thing about the ME and East Asia. Why are you not insisting we send hundreds of billions to Taiwan? I bet we’re not even paying one pension in Taipei. Look what’s happening in ME! How many more trillions and American troops are you demanding we send back there to continue our “maintenance of security”. Why are you only picking one small area, four tiny oblasts, and forgetting our “maintaining of security” all around the world as we have done since 1945. You might not like that, but that’s where you globalists have positioned us. I bet if I really wanted to embarrass you, I could find posts from you mildly supporting MAGA or Trump.
“There must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neo-con establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad, while they turn us into a third-world country and a third-world dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services, and all the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted to fire the Deep Staters and put America First.” DJT 1/16/23
Thanks.... Now that is full on!!
