"The existence of an independent state in the 'historical Russian territories' will now be a constant reason for the resumption of hostilities," - Dmitry Medvedev

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, took to social media to express his views on Ukraine, asserting that the existence of Ukraine in any form poses a mortal danger for its inhabitants.

Medvedev made the following points: Medvedev argued that the presence of an independent state on historical Russian territories would inevitably lead to military action, regardless of the leadership in Ukraine. He emphasized a 100% probability of a new conflict, irrespective of security agreements with the West.

Ukraine's Fatal Nature: Medvedev underscored that Ukraine is fatal for the local population, suggesting that the practical nature of Ukrainians would eventually prioritize life over constant conflict.

Putin's Perspective on Ukraine Conflict: Medvedev's statements align with Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent remarks. Putin claimed that the conflict in Ukraine could have ended a year and a half ago if Kyiv had not abandoned the peace treaty. He emphasized that Russian troops maintain full initiative on the front line, and the continuation of the special operation could deal an irreparable blow to Ukrainian statehood.

Earlier Daryo reported that Zakhar Prilepin, a former deputy turned Russian propagandist-official, has stirred up debate with his statements on immigration and territorial expansion. Applauded by fellow Russian officials, Prilepin advocated for a assertive stance toward the regions contributing immigrants.

His remarks proposed a simple solution to potential migration-related conflicts: boost the Russian population. He asserted that a larger Russian population would lead to fewer issues with misbehaving individuals. Additionally, Prilepin recommended the annexation of regions that serve as sources of guest workers for Russia.
