Dmitri Medvedev, one of Vladimir Putin's historic allies, revealed on Tuesday that one of the Kremlin's objectives through the invasion of Ukraine is to “build an open Eurasia, from Lisbon to Vladivostok”, referring to the far west of the Old Continent (in Portugal) and a city to the Russian extreme east, close to China and Korea of the North.
The vice-president of the Russian National Security Council is one of the Russian president's most trusted politicians. Not only was he prime minister from 2012 to 2020, but the president also delegated power to him between 2008 and 2012, when he could not run for a third consecutive term.
In a lengthy message on Telegram, Medvedev reiterated that Russia's mission in Ukraine is to “demilitarize and denazify” the country, tasks that “are not carried out overnight” and that “will not only be solved on the battlefield.” As he explained, it is necessary to change “the bloody consciousness full of false myths” of part of Ukrainians. And he closed with a much broader plan, with imperialist overtones: “The goal is peace for future generations of Ukrainians and the possibility of finally building an open Eurasia, from Lisbon to Vladivostok”.
His message focused mainly on denying Kiev's accusations, following the spread of the devastation in Bucha following the withdrawal of Russian troops. International media, including Infobae, witnessed how the bodies of civilians were left in the town.
Medvedev did not alter his rhetoric: “The passionate side of Ukrainians has been praying for the Third Reich for the past 30 years. Literally. Disgust is aroused by photos, in which Nazi symbols - flags, literature, posters - are found in almost every military unit of Ukraine taken by our army. Even mugs with swastikas! This is not a game of fascist aesthetics, as Westerners intend to show us. It's an ideology,” said the senior official. As he warned, “the current special operation will serve as a lesson to them.”
On news of possible war crimes, Medvedev called them “increasingly delusional rehashed,” as part of a “fake Kiev machine” that seeks to “dehumanize Russia and denigrate it to the fullest.” He even accused the Ukrainian military themselves of having killed the civilian population.
