Medvedev called Ukraine a “blind weapon” of the West against Russia. Earlier, Medvedev commented on the plans of European business, according to which the end point of the projected Mediterranean railway will be Lviv, not Kyiv.

According to him, the territory of Ukraine in the future may be limited only to the Lviv region. The United Russia party chairman made the comments at the “For Freedom of Nations” forum in Moscow. He was speaking about Ukraine’s political independence.
