Russia Must Inflict Maximum Defeat on Ukraine
Russia's main task remains to inflict "maximum defeat" on Ukraine, former president Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday. Russia is advancing, but the enemy is resisting and has not yet been defeated. Medvedev expects the United States to resume military aid to Ukraine once Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signs a minerals agreement with Washington.
- The bellicose rhetoric from Medvedev highlights the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, underscoring the dire consequences of failure in a conflict that has already claimed thousands of lives.
- Will a renewed focus on defeating Ukraine's military capabilities be enough to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in Eastern Europe?
