“And who said that in two years Ukraine will even exist on the world map?”

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev appreciated Kyiv's demand to Washington for the supply of liquefied gas under Lend-Lease.

As the head of Naftogaz, Yuriy Vitrenko, pointed out in a conversation with Foreign Policy, the US was surprised to hear this idea, but took it positively.

“I saw a message that Ukraine wants to receive LNG from its overseas owners under Lend-Lease with payment for delivery in two years.

Otherwise, next winter it will simply freeze.

Just a question.

And who said that in two years Ukraine will even exist on the world map?

Although the Americans don’t care anymore - they have invested so much in the anti-Russia project that everything else is a trifle for them, ”Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

"We drove ourselves into zugzwang"

The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, spoke about the export of Soviet weapons from the EU countries to Ukraine.

She recalled that after the entry of the former Warsaw Pact countries into NATO, Soviet equipment and weapons, created under Soviet licenses, were placed at the disposal of the North Atlantic Alliance: “The Europeans are now sending them to Ukraine.”

“EU countries, in principle, should not supply weapons, including Soviet ones, to a state that uses, will use or intends to use it against its own citizens in an internal conflict.

It is clear why this was done: to prevent the incitement of civil wars in the countries importing weapons.

At the same time, the European Union does not recognize the change in the territorial boundaries of Ukraine, that is, contrary to the prevailing political and administrative realities, it considers the territories of the DPR and LPR as Ukrainian.

One of two things comes out: either, by supplying weapons, Brussels recognizes the DPR and LPR (and then the conflict ceases to be an internal conflict of Ukraine), or the EU member countries violate the fundamental principles of integration, ”she noted.

In her opinion, the EU countries have “driven themselves into zugzwang” by supplying weapons to Ukraine.

“Obviously, deciding to supply weapons in a big hurry, European strategists did not think about the fact that they actually drove themselves into zugzwang - they have no choice but to stop supplying weapons, withdrawing everything sent, or recognize the DPR and LPR,” stated Zakharov.
