Moscow accuses Ukraine, West of wanting to ‘wipe Russia off the face of the earth’
Russian Security Council deputy head Medvedev claims Ukraine launched its offensive at West's behest
By Elena Teslova
MOSCOW (AA) – Russian Security Council’s deputy head Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday accused the West and Ukraine, whom he referred to as the "enemy," of being ready to "do anything to wipe Russia off the face of the earth."
In a statement on Telegram, Medvedev said Ukraine's counteroffensive began because it "had no choice," blaming the West, which he called Kyiv's "masters," for providing money and weapons to launch it.
Medvedev, who served as the Russian president from 2008 to 2012, claimed that US intelligence agents, the “de facto” head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and several of their reports may cost President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team "not only their posts but also their lives."
In case of "disappointment," the US Central Intelligence Agency headquarters may use radicals to kill Zelenskyy, using high treason as a pretext, the senior Russian official alleged in the statement.
Medvedev urged the Russian army to concentrate its efforts and provide a "decent response" to Ukraine's counteroffensive before launching its own offensive.
"The enemy and the Western world, which supports him (Zelenskyy), are ready to do anything to wipe our country off the face of the earth.
"Its (Russian offensive's) goal today is not only to liberate 'our lands and protect our people.' Its goal is the complete overthrow of the 'Nazi' Kyiv regime," he claimed.
