Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Federation Council (Senate) said today that if Ukraine wants to join NATO, it must cede territory to Russia, INCLUDING ITS CAPITAL, KIEV, and move its capital to Lviv. | Medvedev was commenting on the idea of the Chief of Staff of the NATO Secretary General, Styan Jensen, that Ukraine can get membership in NATO, if it agrees to cede territories to the Russian Federation, noting that the idea is interesting, but that the issue of Ukrainian territory as a whole disputed. 💬 "In order to join the Alliance, the Kiev authorities will have to give up even Kiev itself, the capital of Old Russia, and they will have to move their capital to Lviv." ● In related news, Russia's Defense Minister, Shoigu, said today "Ukraine's military resources are 'almost exhausted' and that "Russia has ended Western military dominance."
Dmitry Medvedev | A new idea for Ukraine from the North Atlantic Alliance office: Ukraine can join NATO if it gives up disputed territories. Why? The idea is curious. The only question is that all the allegedly disputed territories are highly disputed. And in order to enter the bloc, the Kiev authorities will have to give up even Kiev, the capital of Ancient Rus. Well, they will have to move the capital to Lviv. If, of course, the Przeks agree to leave Lemberg to the lovers of lard and coke. (T)
