Medvedev reacted to the events in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation
An associate of the Russian dictator Putin said that the Defense Forces, having entered the territory of the Kursk region, are trying to thin out the Russian military formations on the main line of confrontation, withdrawing part of the forces to Kursk and Belgorod.
The reasons and goals of the terrorist operation of Ukrainian Nazis in the Kursk region have already been detailed and objectively reflected in the analysis. It is necessary to learn a serious lesson from what happened and to fulfill what NGSH V. Gerasimov promised to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief — to mercilessly crush and destroy the enemy, — declares the scandalous deputy head of the Russian Security Council.
Medvedev also said that after the attack of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, the war should acquire an "openly extraterritorial character." He also threatened to "reach Kyiv."
From this moment on, the SVO should acquire an openly extraterritorial character. This is no longer just an operation to return our official territories and punish the Nazis. It is possible and necessary to go on the land of the still existing Ukraine. To Odesa, to Kharkiv, to Dnipropetrovsk, to Mykolaiv. To Kyiv and beyond.
Medvedev stated that the alleged actions of Ukraine in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation now "must remove any taboos from this topic" and that it is now "possible and necessary to talk about it openly, without shame and diplomatic curtseys."
He also once again began to threaten Ukraine and its partners with "retribution".
Let everyone realize this, including the English bastards: we will stop only when we consider it acceptable and profitable for us, - stated Medvedev.
