Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former president, has made a series of statements asserting that the existence of 'any Ukraine' as an independent state is untenable and poses a 'mortal danger' to its own people. Medvedev's comments, shared on his Telegram channel and reported by various sources, suggest that Russia views the prospect of a new conflict with Ukraine as inevitable, with a '100 percent probability' regardless of any security agreements with the West. He further articulated that the only option for Ukrainians is to live within an empire, implying a rejection of Ukrainian statehood on 'historical Russian territories' and potentially incorporating Ukraine into a 'common state.' These statements have been characterized by observers as genocidal, with Medvedev indicating that Ukrainians must choose to be part of Russia or face death in what he believes will lead to 'perpetual war', a stance compared to Nazi aspirations by some commentators.
