LONDON (Reuters) – Russia’s deputy chairman of the Security Council Medvedev said on Thursday that a lasting peace with Ukraine would only be possible if the enemy’s borders were pushed back as far as possible. It may be necessary to push back the borders of NATO member Poland, he said.
Medvedev predicts Russia will win the battle on Telegram. He then said that “some kind of agreement” would be reached after tough negotiations with Ukraine and the West.
But he said the deal would not contain a “fundamental agreement on actual borders” and would not be a comprehensive European security treaty. “That’s why it’s so important to achieve all the goals of the special military operation: push back as far as possible the borders that threaten our country. That’s Poland’s borders,” he said. too,” he said.
Poland’s eastern border is with Ukraine and Belarus, and its northeastern border is with the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.
If Russia invades Poland’s borders, it will be the first direct clash between Russia and NATO. US President Biden has said that if NATO territory is attacked, it will defend “every inch”.
Medvedev has repeatedly made offensive remarks since the start of the war.
