Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said yesterday that he expects that the number of Russian regions will grow. “The special military operation will continue until the Nazi Kiev regime is completely destroyed and the original Russian lands are liberated from the enemy,” he wrote on Telegram on the Day of Reunification, the first anniversary of of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions joining with Russia, reported TASS. Medvedev noted that a year ago, residents of those regions had made a life-changing decision to reunite with their motherland. “Their choice became a symbol not only of restored historical justice but also of the unity of the Russian people, their enormous will power and determination,” he stressed. “Victory will be ours and there will be more new Russian regions.”
Medvedev’s statements often go beyond officially stated Russian government policy.
