RUSSIA WILL ACHIEVE ITS AIMS IN UKRAINE: FORMER PRESIDENT MEDVEDEV

Mon 08 August 2022:

One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest supporters warned that the West had a long-term strategy to destroy Russia, asserting that Russia would win the fight in Ukraine on its terms, Reuters reported.

“Russia is conducting a special military operation in Ukraine and is attaining peace on our terms,” former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, told TASS in an interview.

The US and NATO after August 2008 continued to ignore Russia’s concerns and “now the whole world has changed irreversibly,” the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said in his Telegram channel on Monday on the anniversary of the operation to coerce Georgia to peace.

“The operation to coerce Georgia to peace in August 2008 was launched to protect civilians. At the same time, it was a signal to the United States and NATO about the need to heed Russia’s concerns,” Medvedev wrote.

“But the US and NATO preferred not hear it or failed to understand. They ignored it. And they continued their extremely dangerous policy,” he added, stressing that “in 2022 we had to respond much harder.”
