Medvedev showed on the map the future borders of Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary and Poland
Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, during a speech at the marathon "Knowledge. The first", showed a new map of Eastern Europe, on which parts of present-day Ukraine are shown as part of other states.
The map shows that the Chernivtsi and Vinnytsia regions may become part of Romania, Uzhgorod — Hungary, Poland will receive Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnitsky, Ternopil, Lutsk, Rivne, Zhytomyr, and the rest of the regions will join Russia.
In the illustration, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kirovograd, Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kharkov, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Sumy, Kherson are part of the Russian Federation. The unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic is also listed on this map as Russia.
Ukraine, according to this map, will have a small piece of territory centered in Kiev. "Russia needs to go the current way. The historical parts of the country must return home," the deputy chairman of the Security Council concluded.
"Dmitry Medvedev stated bluntly that Ukraine is Russia. And presented the map. But why was the ancient Russian capital Kiev not left in Russia?" asked political expert Sergei Markov.
"A generous offer to Poles and Romanians. For those who did not understand why Medvedev is making such a generous offer to Poles and Romanians: after all, in no case was Zhytomyr offered to Poland, and Vinnytsia to Romania. This is a bonus for entering into negotiations at the current stage. Moscow offers to pay this bonus at the expense of Ukraine, because it was for Kiev that these lands remained in any previous dealings. Russia hints that Kiev made a mistake when they decided to withdraw from Istanbul, launch a counteroffensive, raised the stakes and therefore must pay for the mistake with additional alienation of territories. That's the whole point. Recall that Romania and Poland are close to Britain. Therefore, this proposal can be regarded as an offer to the British," the authors of the Ukrainian telegram channel ZeRada wrote.
