Former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev, current vice president of his country’s Security Council, said Wednesday that in two years Ukraine will not exist.
“I saw a report that Ukraine wants to receive from its masters abroad [gas natural licuado] as part of a two-year installment payment land lease plan,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram. “Otherwise the country will freeze next winter.”
“But here is a question. Who said that after two years Ukraine will exist on the world map?”.
“Americans don’t care anymore,” he added. “They have invested so much in the anti-Russia project that everything else means nothing to them.”
“The Horsemen of the Apocalypse are on their way,” he said last week, referring to an “all-out attack” on the West for its military support of Russia’s counterpart in the war currently raging in Europe.
“People often ask me why my Telegram posts are so harsh. The answer is that I hate them. They are bastards and scum. They want death for us, for Russia. And as long as I’m alive, I’ll do anything to make them go away,” she wrote.
Medvedev, 56, was seen as a more moderate politician than Vladimir Putin, but has been taking an increasingly hard line.
Former Russian opposition MP Dimitri Gudkov has said that Medvedev is preparing to seize power if Putin is forced out of office.
“He is trying to pander to hardliners in the hope that they will promote him should Putin step down,” he said.
The radicalization of Medvedev’s speech resembles that of other Russian leaders such as the Secretary of the Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, or the President of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, both presented as possible heirs to Putin.
