Former Russian president and deputy head of the Russian Security Council Dmitri Medvedev: "Today, Ukraine faces a choice – to be with Russia or to disappear from the world map altogether. At the same time, Ukrainians are not required to lay down “neither soul nor body” for their freedom. They should humble the pride of “otherness”, refuse to oppose themselves to the all-Russian project and cast out the demons of political Ukrainianism. Our task is to help the residents of Little Russia and New Russia build Ukraine without the hassle of “Ukrainianism”. To consolidate in the public consciousness that Russia is irreplaceable for Ukraine in cultural, linguistic and political terms. If the so-called Ukraine continues to follow an aggressive Russophobic course, it will disappear from the world map forever, just as the puppet entity of Manchukuo, artificially created by militaristic Japan as a proxy force on the territory ofChina, once evaporated." interaffairs.ru/news/show/49… @OxanaShevel @UmlandAndreas @LucanWay @lukeharding1968 @FrancisDearnley @PopovaProf
