Russia's Ex-PM Medvedev: Ukraine Military Victory 'In Sight', Focus Shifts to Post-Conflict

  • Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's Deputy Chairman of the National Security Council, claims military victory in Ukraine is 'visible across a number of parameters'.
  • Medvedev emphasized the need to consider post-conflict scenarios to prevent future escalations, stating military success alone is insufficient.
  • He believes the objectives of Russia's 'Special Military Operation' (SMO) will be achieved swiftly.
  • Medvedev commented on Donald Trump's role, suggesting Trump 'genuinely trying' to be a peacemaker and has a 'calibrated and deliberate line of action'.
  • He humorously referenced Trump's past threat to deploy nuclear submarines near Russian waters.
