Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Dmitry Medvedev made a provocative statement after the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Kursk region, calling for the war to acquire an “openly extraterritorial character.”
This information was reported by Comments, as reported by “URA-Inform”.
He also threatened “retaliation” and said that the aggressor country would stop military action only when it deemed it necessary. In his speech, Medvedev called on Russian troops to advance on Ukrainian territory, mentioning cities such as Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Kiev.
Regarding the events in the Kursk region, Medvedev said that it was necessary to learn a “serious lesson” and called for the “merciless defeat and destruction of the enemy.”
«There is another important political and legal consequence of what happened. From this moment on, the SVO must acquire an openly extraterritorial character. This is no longer just an operation to return our official territories and punish the Nazis. We can and must go to the lands of the still existing Ukraine. To Odessa, to Kharkov, to Dnepropetrovsk, to Nikolaev. To Kyiv and further. There should be no restrictions in the sense of some borders of the Ukrainian Reich recognized by someone. And now we can and must talk about this openly, without embarrassment and diplomatic curtseys. The terrorist operation of the Banderites must remove any taboos from this topic. Let everyone, including the English bastards, realize this: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and beneficial for ourselves», — said Putin's deputy in the Russian Security Council.
It is worth noting that his statement looks, to put it mildly, strange, given that the Russian army has been launching missile and bomb strikes on the cities he mentioned for the third year in a row, and the Russian ground forces have been unsuccessfully trying to capture them.
Recall that it was previously reported that a major blow to Putin's prestige: Western media assessed the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive on the Kursk region.
