Ukraine Russia, today’s news from November 12 about the war. LIVE

For the Vice President of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, “Ukraine is not a country, but artificially composed territories.” He writes it himself on Telegram. “Some current and former NATO officials are cautiously putting forward new ideas about Ukraine. They say that it should be included in the alliance, but without Crimea and Donbass. That’s why,” says Medvedev, citing the words of former Foreign Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, “these territories are failing.” In their opinion, they are absolutely not Ukraine. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s important moving forward. One must recognize that Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kiev and practically everything else is not Ukraine.” According to the vice president of the Russian Security Council, we must then “acknowledge the obvious”, namely that “Zelensky, who will not run in the elections, will not the president, but a usurper” and that “the Ukrainian” is not a language, but a surzhik (a dialect, ed.)”. And finally: “Ukraine is not a country, but artificially composed territories.”
