By speaking against deployment of nuclear weapons beyond national territory, French President Emmanuel Macron effectively criticized the US policy, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview, partially uploaded to journalist Pavel Zarubin’s Telegram channel.







"It has been a long time since we’ve heard such fierce criticism towards the United States of American from the President of France," the spokesman noted ironically, commenting on Macron’s remarks.


Speaking earlier at a joint press conference with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Macron stated that France opposes deployment of nuclear weapons outside of nuclear powers’ national territory.


On March 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, under a request from Belarus, Russia will deploy its tactical nuclear weapons in the republic, just like the US has been doing on its allies’ territory for a long time.



Ukraine to cease to exist because it is not needed to anyone, Medvedev says



Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev believes that no-one in the world needs Ukraine, therefore it will cease to exist, he said in his post on social media Saturday.


The post, titled "Why Ukraine will cease to exist? Because nobody needs it," is divided into six parts, in which Medvedev explains why the Ukrainian state is not needed to Europe, the US, Africa, Latin America, Asia, Russia and, finally, Ukrainian people themselves.



Across the continents



Talking about Europe, Medvedev opined that the attempt to put "young Ukrainian blood-sucking parasites one the arthritic neck of the decrepit EU" will become the final downfall of the "previously royal, but now impoverished, due to degeneration, Europe." According to the official, the "forced support of the Nazi regime under command of the American mentor has already created true financial and political hell for the Europeans," and its consequences, including "unprofitable Russian sanctions," have already led to outbursts of discontent in both Western and Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, even the Poles "do not treat Ukraine as a normal country and float the idea of Anschluss of Western regions from time to time," Medvedev underscores.


Meanwhile, American people will sooner or later bring its political establishment to answer, why it is occupied with "a country unknown to them," instead of domestic American issues, Medvedev opined, noting that the "2021 storm of the Capitol will look like boy scout games in comparison."


"Regular Americans have absolutely no idea, what ‘Ukraine’ is and where ‘it’ is located. Most of them wouldn’t even be able to immediately pinpoint this ‘state’ on the map," Medvedev noted. As for other parts of the world, Medvedev believes that the "hundreds of billions that the US spends on pointless fighting somewhere in Ukraine, would have been enough to fund many programs, aimed at social development of Latin American and African states."







Ukraine is "also not needed to Asia," since Asian states see it on Russia’s example "how color [revolution] technologies are being honed in order to take down the largest competitor states," and "understand what fate has the collective West, led by America, has prepared for them in case of disobedience:" "Help us deal with Russia, and then we will soon come to you."


In addition, Medvedev continue, giant Asian states have enough problems rebuilding the economy after the pandemic, therefore they refuse to blindly support Ukraine and isolate Russia, "a country that is geopolitically much closer to Asian powers and that has historically proven itself as a reliable strategic partner."



In Russia and Ukraine



Medvedev called the current Ukrainian state a "misconception, created by the dissolution of the Soviet Union." "Millions of our compatriots that have been harassed by the Nazi Kiev regime for years live here. It is them whom we protect with the special military operation, ruthlessly eliminating the enemy," the official noted. "And this is why this sub-Ukraine is not needed for us. We need a Big Great Russia," the political said.


As for the Ukrainians themselves, Medvedev assessed that there are only slightly over 20 million out of 45 million of them still left in the country, and the remaining Ukrainians "Are forced to live in constant anxiety and fear" and "are willing to go anywhere."


"This kind of Ukraine is not needed to anyone on the plant. And this is why it will cease to exist," the author concludes.
