Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev stated today, Friday, that "what Ukraine really needs is surrender, which could open the path to peace, but Washington and Kyiv do not want that." Medvedev wrote on Telegram, saying, "Those suffering in the trenches of the divided country actually only need to surrender, which might open the way for peace. But neither Washington nor Kyiv want peace. America wants absolute power, and in pursuit of that, it does not care about the blood of Ukrainians."
He added, "Thousands of soldiers from the Ukrainian Armed Forces are dying during the counter-offensive, but even this effort will not help the Kyiv regime survive; its corpse cannot be revived." Commenting on U.S. aid to Kyiv, which he described as "meaningless tens of billions of dollars," Medvedev said, "The suicide bombers in the burning Western tanks will not see this money; they will see only death, but this money is very important for the aging elite of the American Democratic Party and its servants in the European Union, because the myth of the great counter-offensive supports the myth of the great dollar economy."
