Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Federation Council (Senate) said today that if Ukraine wants to join NATO, it must cede territory to Russia, INCLUDING ITS CAPITAL, KIEV, and move its capital to Lviv.
Medvedev was commenting on the idea of the Chief of Staff of the NATO Secretary General, Styan Jensen, that Ukraine can get membership in NATO, if it agrees to cede territories to the Russian Federation,
noting that the idea is interesting, but that the issue of Ukrainian territory as a whole disputed.
"In order to join the Alliance, the Kiev authorities will have to give up even Kiev itself, the capital of Old Russia, and they will have to move their capital to Lyvov."
In related news, Russia's Defense Minister, Shoigu, said today "Ukraine's military resources are 'almost exhausted' and that "Russia has ended Western military dominance."
