He stated that Russia must continue the fight.
“It doesn’t matter if it takes years or even decades. We have no choice: either we destroy their unfriendly political system, or the West as a whole will eventually tear Russia apart,” Dmitry Medvedev wrote in a Telegram post, according to RT.
The former leader of the Kremlin said that such a result would be bad for everyone involved. He also said that if Russia loses the fight, the West will also “perish.”
Dmitry Medvedev said, “Nobody needs this.” He called Ukraine a “terrorist” state and stressed that Russia was determined to break it up totally and stop Kyiv from coming back. He said that the conflict is a matter of life and death for Russia and that the West will finally stop helping Ukraine because it hurts their own interests.
“For them, this is an odd war where people they don’t know are dying. “They don’t feel sorry for them, but the West won’t go past the point where its own interests are hurt too much,” the former Russian president said. “Someone else’s war becomes boring, expensive, and pointless sooner or later.”
This comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the “historic” decision to give Ukraine F-16 fighter jets to strengthen its Soviet-era air force. He said this while he was in the Netherlands, just two days after the US approved the transfer to Ukraine of US-made warplanes made in the Netherlands and Denmark.

Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, said, “The Netherlands and Denmark commit to transferring F-16s to Ukraine once the conditions for such a transfer have been met.
“Zelensky called the move “absolutely historic, powerful, and inspiring for us,” and added, “This is another step towards strengthening Ukraine’s air shield.”
