Former Russian President Dmitry Medvediev claims Russia will soon win the war against Ukraine, with shocking comments about Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Medvediev Confident in Russia’s Quick Victory
Former Russian President and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvediev gave interviews to Reuters, TASS agencies, and blogger WarGonzo. When asked by media when Russia would win the war against Ukraine, the former president replied: “Soon.” – “I would like it to happen as quickly as possible,” he added. Medvediev emphasized that “what happens later is just as important.” – “After all, the purpose of victory is to prevent future conflicts. This is obvious,” he stated.
“His Head Will Be Cut Off”
Media also report Medvediev’s shocking statement about Volodymyr Zelensky. – “I don’t want to discuss the fate of this figure. I can only say one thing. You know how a famous Kyivanian said: ‘Annushka has already spilled the oil.’ And therefore his head will be cut off,” he said. Medvediev was referring to Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita.” The phrase about spilling oil means the beginning of a series of events that will ultimately lead to tragedy.
Trilateral Talks in Abu Dhabi
In turn, Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the next trilateral talks regarding the end of the war will take place on February 4 and 5 in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. According to the Ukrainian president, the negotiating team presented a report on the work done so far. In a statement, Zelensky wrote that he had spoken with the Ukrainian negotiating team. The dates for the next trilateral meetings in Abu Dhabi were set for Wednesday and Thursday. He added that Ukraine is ready for a substantive conversation to bring about a real and dignified end to the war. The press service of the Ukrainian president clarified that the dates for the next meetings were established during a telephone conversation with the Americans. As they wrote, they will not provide further details due to the good of the negotiation process. Initially, Ukrainian-American-Russian talks in the Arab Emirates were to begin this Sunday, but on Saturday Volodymyr Zelensky announced that they would most likely be postponed. According to Ukrainian authorities, the point of contention in the talks is Russia’s ultimatum for Ukraine to withdraw from all of Donbas.
