Medvedev warns: Russia reacts to Ukraine with a hard offensive!

In the middle of the continuing battles in Ukraine, Dmitri Medvedev, the former President of Russia, has announced that Russia will react to attacks on his territory. These statements are carried out despite diplomatic tests on conflict resolution, as reported. Medvedev referred to Ukrainian sabotage campaigns that affect the Russian railway, as well as drone attacks at Russian airports, as reasons for the aggressive attitude of Moscow

at a time when Russian officials traveled to Istanbul to negotiate with Ukrainian representatives, Medvedev's post on social media illustrates domestic demands for a stronger military reaction. He emphasized that the Russian army was on the active offensive and retaliation is taken. The goal is to accelerate the victory over Ukraine.

ceasefire and reactions

According to the ongoing negotiations, Moscow allegedly proposed two ways for an armistice: a temporary setting of the fights for the rescue of corpses and the handover of over 6,000 deceased Ukrainian soldiers to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, on the other hand, criticized the Russian suggestions and described the negotiators as "idiots". The Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow described Selenskyj's statements as "embarrassing and unfortunate".

These negotiations take place against the background that Medledew has declared that Russia's peace offer is more of a bluff. According to n-tv the war considers the war to be inevitable, even if the Ukraine agrees to a peace agreement. His demand for a change of government in Kiev to allegedly remove "remaining radicals", focuses on Russia's ambivalent motifs.

future perspectives

In addition, the Institute for War Studies (ISW) assesses the situation in such a way that the Kremlin plans to continue the conquest of Ukraine after a possibly assumed peace agreement. The analysis indicates that negotiations would only take place in the Ukrainian government after a “radical change”. It is expected that the Kremlin believes that a complete conquest of Ukraine becomes easier if Kiev accepts unpopular concessions, which may further influence the dynamics of the conflict.

The situation in Ukraine will remain tense. The pressure on Selenskyj on the part of the Kremlin and the unclear attitude of Moscow with regard to a real offer of peace raise the question of how the diplomatic efforts to end the fights will continue. Medvedew's provocative statements-also to international actors such as US President Trump, who put Ukraine under pressure to meet peace talks-make it clear that the geopolitical situation is still complex and tense.
