Senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev said that the point of holding peace talks with Ukraine was to ensure a swift and complete Russian victory.

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, declared this week that Moscow seeks “swift victory and the complete destruction of the neo-Nazi regime” in Ukraine, not a “compromise peace on someone else’s delusional terms.

Retribution is inevitable - writes Dmitry Medvedev, former President of Russia, on Telegram. Simultaneously, the politician announces a "swift victory" and criticises peace negotiations in Istanbul. Many of the reports conveyed by Russian media and representatives of the authorities are likely not true.
