Medvedev called for preparations for the complete takeover of Ukraine after signing peace with Kyiv

Russia needs to prepare to seize the entire territory of Ukraine after Moscow and Kyiv sign a peace treaty and end the war, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

“Even having signed the papers and accepted defeat, the remaining part of the radicals [in Ukraine], after a regrouping of 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,” Medvedev wrote in his Telegram channel. According to him, at this moment Russia will have to “drive a long steel nail into the coffin of Bandera’s quasi-state,” as well as “destroy the remnants of his bloody legacy and return the remaining lands to the bosom of the Russian land.”

“But the enemies of Russia will not go anywhere after this. They will accumulate strength and wait for a new convenient reason to destroy our country. We must be prepared for future battles to defend the Fatherland,” Medvedev emphasized.
