Medvedev wants a “peaceful partition” of Ukraine with Romania, Hungary and Poland to avoid another world war

A new world war is likely, but it is not inevitable, said Tuesday the vice-president of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who emphasized that a “quiet division” of Ukraine is “better” than a world war and invoked in in this context the “aspirations” of Poland, Hungary and Romania, informs TASS. The bellicose declarations come shortly after the head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, declared that Ukraine’s place is in the North Atlantic military alliance.

“The world is sick and, very likely, is on the verge of a new world war. Is he inevitable? No, it’s not,” said Medvedev, giving a speech to the participants of the “Science” marathon.

According to Medvedev, Russia was “drawn into the war, by the clash of two parts of one people”, notes Agerpres.

In his opinion, the prospect of a nuclear war not only exists, but is growing.

In this context, he qualified as perfidy the discussions about the ecological agenda, in the conditions where the problem of the survival of mankind is raised.

“Stop suffering because the temperature has risen by one degree in a year or a period. (…) In my opinion, this is nothing compared to the prospect of finding ourselves at the epicenter of an explosion with a temperature of 5,000 kelvins, with a speed of 350 meters per second and a pressure of 3,000 kg per square meter , with ionizing radiation and electromagnetic pulse. Does such a perspective exist today? Unfortunately yes. And it grows every day for known reasons,” said Medvedev.

“And Romania has been dreaming for several decades”

The former Russian president declared that Russia could use nuclear weapons first if the aggression against it will threaten the very existence of the Russian state.

He stated that a “quiet partition” of Ukraine is better than its NATO membership or a world war.

“Greed and malice, hatred, ambitions are stronger than reason and healthy thinking. Let Poland take the western regions of Ukraine, but let’s be honest, Hungary and Romania have been dreaming for decades,” Medvedev said.

According to Medvedev, the leaders of Poland are discussing with the Ukrainian authorities about the establishment of a confederation, “and from here it is not far even to the union, as it was before”.

In Medvedev’s opinion, Poland and other countries want to implement their plans as quickly as possible, “before the window of possibilities has closed”, and Russia and the representatives of the collective West have not reached agreements in principle.

At the same time, Medvedev stated that all European politicians depend on the US, “even the quietest, most loyal ones, with whom we (Russia) have normal relations”.

The West “made fun of Russia”

In addition, Dmitri Medvedev considers it possible to “separate” some states from the US and declared that he would “hold his fists for Texas” if this state wants to become independent from Washington.

He did not rule out the possibility that the next US president will become the “legendary” Elon Musk, who has “much more popularity than (Donald) Trump himself and even more than (Joe) Biden.”

In his speech, Dmitry Medvedev reiterated the accusations against the West, which “made fun of and tried to weaken Russia”.

It is not the first time that Dmitry Medvedev makes controversial statements and invokes the threat of a nuclear war.

Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg last week made his first visit to Kiev since Russia’s full-scale invasion in a show of support for Ukraine, which is preparing to launch a counteroffensive, Reuters reports.

Ukraine’s future lies in NATO, said the head of the Western military alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, who stressed that it would help Kiev transition from Soviet-era equipment and doctrine to NATO standards.

“Let me be clear: Ukraine’s rightful place is in the Euro-Atlantic family. Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO. And over time, our support will help make this possible,” Stoltenberg told reporters during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev.

The head of the North Atlantic alliance promised that Ukraine will continue to receive military support, saying that to date NATO allies have trained tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops and provided military aid worth 65 billion euros in terms of regarding military aid.

Ukraine is waiting for the invitation to NATO

“NATO is with you today, tomorrow and as long as it takes,” Stoltenberg said, before inviting Zelenski to the NATO summit in Vilnius in July.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the time has come for NATO to make a political decision to invite Ukraine to join the military alliance and that Kiev wants to know when it will become a member.

The Ukrainian leader also said the NATO summit in Vilnius in July could become “historic”, suggesting that would be when he hoped Ukraine would be formally invited into the alliance.
