Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Ukraine must surrender, otherwise it will face a continuous war, even though the Russian forces were forced to retreat in a series of devastating defeats, while the head of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, predicted the election of Elon Musk as president of America after a civil war.

A day after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his willingness to negotiate over Ukraine, Lavrov said in an interview with the Russian news agency "Tass", published yesterday, that Ukraine must give up its sovereignty over the lands annexed by Russia since the start of the war launched by Putin on February 24. Past.

Kyiv and its Western allies rejected Putin's offer to hold talks in light of the Russian forces' bombardment of Ukrainian cities with missiles and missiles, and Moscow's continued demand for Kyiv to recognize its sovereignty over one-fifth of the country.

Kyiv says it will fight until Russia withdraws.

"The enemy knows very well our proposals for disarmament, the elimination of Nazism in the territories controlled by the regime, and the removal of threats emanating from there to the security of Russia, including our new territories," Lavrov was quoted as saying by Tass news agency.

"It's simple: do it for your own good, otherwise the Russian army will decide it," he added.

Putin launched the war on Ukraine on February 24, in what he described as a "special operation" aimed at "eradicating Nazism" in Ukraine and disarming it, saying they posed a threat to Russia.

"It is no secret that the strategic goal of the United States and its NATO allies is to defeat Russia on the battlefield, as a way to significantly weaken or even destroy our country," Lavrov said.

Lavrov reaffirmed that Russia and the United States cannot have normal relations, blaming US President Joe Biden's administration for that.

On the ground, Russian forces have been waging fierce battles in eastern and southern Ukraine for months, to defend the lands that Moscow announced its annexation in September, which constitute the vast Ukrainian industrial region of Donbass.

Yesterday, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said that its forces repelled Russian attacks, targeting two residential communities in the Lugansk region, and six other communities in the Donetsk region.

On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure caused power outages for nine million Ukrainians, which represents about a quarter of Ukraine's population.

Expectations also include a civil war in the United States, the independence of California and Texas to become two independent countries, the election of Elon Musk as president of the United States, and the refusal to deal in the euro and the dollar as global reserve currencies.

Medvedev wrote, on Monday, on his channel on the “Telegram” application, a list of 10 points, in which he stated: “Everyone likes to make predictions before the new year.

Many people present futuristic hypotheses, competing in proposing highly unexpected or even absurd assumptions.

Let us also contribute to this,” according to the Russian news agency “Tass”.

Medvedev's list of expectations included an increase in the price of a barrel of oil to $150, the price of 1,000 cubic meters of gas reaching $5,000, the return of the United Kingdom to the European Union, and the collapse of the bloc after that.
