“The regime that has formed in Ukraine is a hornet’s nest that must be exterminated, must be destroyed.” Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian security council, speaks during a visit to the Rudboy training camp in the Volgograd region. According to Medvedev, the “destruction” of the Kiev “regime” is necessary. “Otherwise there will be a constant threat coming from there and operations, like the one we’ve been carrying out for over a year, will have to be carried out constantly.” Statements that come a few hours after the announcement by the Polish government of military aid assured to Moldova during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
In fact, Poland explained that, in the midst of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it had sent a package of weapons and ammunition to Moldova and the Polish Minister of the Interior, Mariusz Kaminski, indicated that the military aid was delivered to support an “independent Moldova and sovereign who wants to resist attempts at internal destabilization”. On Twitter, then, Minister Kaminski explained that two Hercules transport planes and four C-295 were used to transport weapons, ammunition and military equipment from Polish territory.
Meanwhile, the international chessboard is becoming increasingly complex and delicate. Today Russia spoke of “terrorist tactics” implemented by Zelensky’s Ukraine precisely to target the Russian civilian population. «The toughest possible response to acts of terrorism is needed – commented Medvedev – This is an anti-terrorist fight, and this is really what the special military operation has become to a large extent, so now we are fighting the terrorists who are killing our people ». Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke from the European Political Community summit in Moldova.
“There are no security guarantees for Ukraine outside of NATO,” Zelensky said, trying to put pressure on Western allies about the process of joining the Atlantic alliance. The president then recalled that with the Budapest Memorandum “Ukraine ceded its nuclear arsenal in exchange for guarantees on the protection of its territorial integrity. But now we have temporarily lost part of our territory and forever lost the lives of our citizens. With NATO, your security infrastructure and guarantees are clear, but for non-NATO, what are the guarantees?
