Deputy chairman of the russian Security Council dmitry medvedev Ukraine a part of russia, despite statements from Ukrainian politicians, adding that moscow plans to establish control over its entire territory. It is reported by The Moscow Times Telegram channel.
"Once, one of the former leaders of Ukraine said that Ukraine is not Russia. This concept should disappear forever. Ukraine is undoubtedly Russia", - declared the chauvinistic Medvedev.
According to him, the territories on both banks of the Dnipr river are an "integral part of russia's strategic historical borders, so all attempts to forcibly change them, to cut them off, are doomed".
He urged moscow's opponents to "realize that russia doesn't need someone else's land, but it won't give up its own".
As reported, the EU recommended medvedev to get his head checked after his statements about Kyiv and Odesa.
