Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, and former president, has made several statements indicating Russia's aggressive stance towards Ukraine. He suggested that Russia may not accept an independent Ukraine and could incorporate it into a 'common state.' Medvedev also stated that Ukraine's existence is 'mortally dangerous' for its people, and any Ukraine on historical Russian lands will lead to perpetual war. These statements have been criticized as genocidal rhetoric. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has also made several remarks, including rejecting US proposals for nuclear arms control talks and criticizing the US and UK for their actions in Yemen. Lavrov also stated that Russia cannot trust the West and that Ukraine must end its push to join NATO before peace discussions can proceed.
