"Former Russian President Envisions West's Plea for Negotiations with Russia in Decades"

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned that the war between Russia and Ukraine could last for decades, stating that Russia sees no alternative but to persist in the struggle. Medvedev claimed that if Russia loses, the West will also "perish," emphasizing Russia's determination to dismantle Ukraine and prevent its resurgence. He argued that Western support for Ukraine will eventually wane as their own interests are affected, as "someone else's war sooner or later becomes boring, costly, and irrelevant." Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the "historic" decision to supply F-16 fighter jets to strengthen Ukraine's air force.
