According to the Russian News Agency reported on the 11th, Medvedev, vice chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, wrote in the "Kommersant" newspaper that in the relations with Ukraine, Russia has no other way out, and can only wait for the emergence of "rational leadership" there - Moscow is very patient and knows how to wait.

Medvedev said there was no point in contacting the current president of Ukraine and that there was no point in negotiating with the Ukrainian authorities because they were "ignorant and unnecessary people" who constantly changed their positions. Russia, in this case, he wrote, can only wait for a rational leadership to emerge in Ukraine, whose purpose is not to engage in an all-out confrontation with Russia on the brink of war, not to form a stupid "Crimean platform" to fool the people of the country before elections, but to establish equal and mutually beneficial relations with Russia. "It is only worth it to deal with such a Ukrainian leadership," he noted. Russia knows how to wait. We are patient people. ”
Medvedev also said that no fool would fight for Ukraine, which has no value on the line of confrontation between the West and Russia. In particular, he wrote in the article that Ukraine was under direct foreign control, which was much tougher than the Soviet Union's interaction with individual socialist countries in the past, and that "Ukraine has no value in the line of direct confrontation between Western powers (including potential military forces) against our country." No fool will fight for Ukraine."

Speaking about the relationship between Ukraine and the United States, Medvedev wrote that the United States does not need anything from Ukraine other than confronting Russia and containing Moscow in an all-round way, meaning that the alliance between the United States and Ukraine is fragile and will one day fall apart. He believes that for obvious reasons, Ukraine's desire to join NATO and the European Union is utopian.
According to Ukrainian media reports, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vier Kremkin recently claimed that the "key to victory" in the war against Russia is the United States. "I think our main source of help at the moment is the United States. For now we can only rely on the strength and toughness of the United States. ”
Kremkin said U.S. President Joe Biden could draw a "red line" for Russia on global political issues. He added that the support of other Western countries is also extremely important and must be considered and exploited. However, he also said that Ukraine must first rely on itself in the confrontation with Russia.

Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine John Hebst said in an interview with Ukrainian television in September that Kiev should not expect the United States to help in the event of a war with Russia. Hearst noted that the United States may provide military equipment to Ukraine, but it is unlikely to send troops. "If the situation had changed radically, maybe [troops would be sent], but now I don't see [that possibility]," he said. ”
According to the Russian news agency, Ukrainian politicians have repeatedly made belligerent remarks against Russia, which Russia believes are empty words. Alexander Schelling, vice chairman of the National Defense Council of the Russian State Duma, said Ukrainian politicians tried to distract the Ukrainian people from the country's internal problems through their statements.
