Medvedev: Ukraine’s capitulation could open the way to peace

The capitulation of Ukraine could open the way to peace, but neither Kyiv nor Washington wants to resolve the conflict. This statement was made by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, commenting on the US allocation of funds for the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

“The suffering people in the trenches of a divided country really need only surrender, which, perhaps, would open the way to peace. But neither Washington nor Kyiv want peace,” wrote he is in his Telegram channel.

Medvedev noted that the fact of allocating funds for military assistance to Ukraine is important for the American elite and the EU authorities, since “the myth of the “great counter-offensive” supports the myth of the” great economy of the dollar “.”

August 10 US President Joe Biden asked the US Congress to approve additional spending in the amount of $40 billion, $24 billion of which will go to help Ukraine.

On August 8, U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller announced that the U.S. would announce a new military aid package for Ukraine this week. Reuters wrotethat Washington plans to allocate $200 million to Kyiv. According to the Pentagon, at the end of July 2023, the volume of military assistance provided to Kyiv by the United States exceeded $43 billion.

The Russian authorities have repeatedly criticized the supply of military aid to Ukraine and pointed to the growing direct and indirect involvement of Western countries in the conflict. In September 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian army in Ukraine is opposed to “virtually the entire military machine of the collective West.”
