Medvedev lashes out at NATO summit pledges to Ukraine

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, is closely monitoring events in Washington concerning the NATO summit. He expressed his irritation with how Ukraine was treated at this event in a post on his Telegram channel. Strong words were spoken.

A ceremonial summit was convened on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the USA. During the event in Washington, to which President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was invited, Russia was discussed as a threat to world peace. There were also assurances of an irrevocable promise to admit Ukraine to NATO.

"Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine destroyed peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region and seriously undermined global security. Russia remains the most significant and direct threat to the Alliance's security. Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is the most direct asymmetric threat to the security of NATO citizens," the participants of the summit in Washington wrote in a declaration.

The text, published on the NATO website, must have angered Dmitry Medvedev. The declarations towards Ukraine, which cannot be admitted to NATO due to the war it is waging following the Russian invasion of Kyiv in February 2022 but has a promised place in the alliance, filled the cup of bitterness.

The Russian propagandist devoted a venomous post to the matter of Ukraine on the social media channel Telegram. He quoted one sentence: "'We will continue to support it on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership.' That is what our enemies said yesterday in the Washington Declaration of the Alliance,” he wrote.

And he commented brutally: "The conclusion is obvious. We must do everything to ensure that the 'irreversible path' of Ukraine to NATO ends either with the disappearance of Ukraine or the disappearance of NATO. Or, even better, both," wrote Medvedev.

The day before, he posted even worse words on social media. He called Volodymyr Zelensky "a divine clown" and "the former president of former Ukraine." He also used a vulgar term, calling him a "genital pianist."

He considered scenarios predicting Ukraine's admission to NATO. He assumed that Kyiv could enter peace negotiations with Moscow only to "rebuild military and human potential." He predicted that then there could be declarations of refusal to join NATO. However, he assessed that these "in themselves will lead to nothing." According to Medvedev, if such assurances are given, a new, third bloody Maidan will quickly begin in Kyiv, sweeping away the current junta and bringing even more radical ones to power.

Then, as the Russian propagandist plots, Washington will also suffer defeat.

"It will be more difficult for the Western alliance to provide assistance to unabashed extremists," Medvedev explained. "Besides, they will have to openly admit that tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer money was wasted. So Washington and its associates will force the Kiev Nazis to recognize the outcome of the war," Medvedev predicts.
