Dmitry Medvedev: Ukraine may not exist in two years
Earlier on Wednesday (June 15), former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev indicated that Ukraine may not exist in two years, the Anews reported, citing the AFP.
Medvedev, who is now deputy head of the Security Council, wrote on Telegram: "I saw a report that Ukraine wants to receive LNG (liquified natural gas) under a lend-lease agreement from its overseas masters with payment for delivery in two years.”
The close ally of President Vladimir Putin: "And who said that in two yeas Ukraine will even exist on the world map?”
The Ukrainian president has appealed for heavy weapons from the West, criticising the "restrained behaviour" of some European leaders which he said had "slowed down arms supplies very much."
He told Danish journalists in an online briefing on Tuesday: "I am grateful for what is coming, but it must come faster.”
The United States and Britain have said they are providing Kyiv with long-range precision artillery batteries, defying warnings from the Kremlin.
