Statements by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, made during an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta:
Below are statements made by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council, Dmitry Medvedev. Pay close attention!
The course of the AFU counter-offensive proved unexpected for Kiev's Western sponsors, who believed in the "omnipotence of unlimited dough". The defeat of the AFU in the Artemovsk direction was a foregone conclusion;
European businesses that have left Russia are "biting their elbows", lamenting their lost revenues. It has permanently lost the Russian market; goods have been replaced by others. Production growth in Russia is "much higher than in Europe", and inflation at the end of the year will be lower than in the eurozone;
Russia was forced to conduct a special military operation to protect its sovereignty and millions of people. The Kiev regime should be scrapped and banned as fascist;
The situation in Ukraine is not a regional conflict but a total confrontation between the collective West and the rest of the world. The confrontation between the West and the rest of the world could last for decades;
The current confrontation between the West and the rest of the world has brought the world to the brink of a third world war. In the event of a third world war, there will be no winners - there will be a nuclear winter, epidemics and famine on Earth;
The outcome of the total confrontation between Russia and the West should be enshrined in a new document like the Helsinki Act."
