Medvedev again threatens to "go to Kyiv and beyond"

The former president of Russia said that from now on it is possible to talk about the complete capture of Ukraine "without curtsy".

After the Ukrainian military attacked Russia's Kursk region, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmytro Medvedev threatened "retribution", adding that the occupying country will stop "only when it deems it necessary". The ex-president of Russia announced this on Telegram on Thursday, August 8.

"It is necessary to learn a serious lesson from what happened and to fulfill what the Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov promised to the Supreme Commander - to ruthlessly crush and destroy the enemy. From this moment on, the SVO (that's what Russia calls a full-scale war against Ukraine — ed.) must acquire an openly extraterritorial character," Medvedev wrote.

According to him, "it is possible and necessary to go on the land of the currently existing Ukraine. To Odesa, to Kharkiv, to Dnipropetrovsk, to Mykolaiv. To Kyiv and beyond."

Medvedev stated that Ukraine's alleged actions in the Kursk region now "must remove any taboos from this topic (Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territories — ed.)" and that now "we can and should talk about it openly, without shame and diplomatic curtseys."

The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation traditionally began to threaten Ukraine and its partners with "retribution".

"Let everyone, including the English bastards, realize this: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and profitable for us," Medvedev said. Recall that on August 6, the Russian mass media reported on the attempts of the Ukrainian military to break into the territory of the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. According to the information of the Russian "military personnel", the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already occupied a number of settlements in the Suzhan district of the Kursk region.
