Medvedev's latest statement: Russian victory is "visible"
Recently, Medvedev, in interviews with Reuters, TASS and other media outlets, stated that the victory of Russia's "special military operation" is gradually becoming evident through several key indicators. Moreover, the core objective of the operation has remained consistent from the beginning, which is to prevent future conflicts through military victory.
Key points of the statement:
1. Quoting a famous saying to imply a hard-line stance: Medvedev quoted a famous saying by Ukrainian writer Bulgakov, "Anushka has already poured out the oil," which implies that the conflict has become irreversible. He warned Ukraine by stating, "If your head is cut off, it can't grow back,"
2. Responding to the Trump submarine incident: In the summer of 2025, Trump had boasted about deploying U.S. nuclear submarines near the Russian border. Medvedev said that Russia has never found such submarines. He also pointed out that during Trump's administration, U.S.-Russia communication was more effective, while the current U.S. Secretary of State, although trying to be known as a "peacemaker" in history, has shown inconsistent performance.
3. Continuing a hard-line public opinion tone: Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Medvedev has repeatedly made statements against Ukraine. This statement continues his long-standing radical position, further narrowing the space for negotiations between the two sides.
