"Medvedev Asserts Ukraine as Part of Russia, Rejects Peace Talks"

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev asserts that Ukraine is part of Russia and rules out peace talks with the current Ukrainian leadership, stating that Russia will continue its military operation until the other side capitulates. Medvedev also accuses US special forces and military advisers of waging war against Russia and claims that ties between Moscow and Washington are worse than during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Additionally, he joins other Kremlin voices in accusing Western countries, particularly Germany, of participating in the war in Ukraine after a wiretap recording of German military officials discussing the potential impact of Ukraine’s use of German-made Taurus missiles was published on Russian social media.
