This is manifested in the statements of high -ranking Russian officials that Ukraine is part of the historically Russian territory and that Russia should establish control over most of the country. This conclusion was reached by analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) in its report on December 13.
Analysts say that the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev has distorted US President Joe Baiden's answer to the question of what the victory of Ukraine in the war means. Biden stated that victory means that Ukraine will be a sovereign and independent state that can protect itself. Medvedev also suggested that Biden would be pleased if Ukraine just existed as a country, even if it was limited by the borders of the Lviv region.
"Medvedev regularly and deliberately makes meaningless statements, but the time of these statements and the emphasis on the idea that Ukraine can exist only as a print state in the territory of Lviv region, is consistent with the previous grounds that the Kremlin returns to its internal concept, according to What Russia wages for "liberation of its historical lands" - said in the report. Kiev military conditions.
She also stated that Ukraine should withdraw its troops from the Russian territory to settle the war. Analysts believe that Zakharova's statement was probably deliberately blurred to give Russia freedom in determining what it considers "Russian Russian territories. " . ISW noted that Russian propagandists strengthened this information campaign before a large -scale invasion, but then it decreased significantly.
We will remind, earlier in ISW it was noted that from the statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova becomes obvious that the main requirement of the Kremlin remains unchanged - the complete political surrender of Ukraine and the recognition of new territorial acquisitions of the Russian Federation in Kiev.
