Former Russian President and now Deputy Chairman of the National Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev expressed nostalgia for the balance of terror in the world during the Cold War and stressed that, if necessary, the Russian army will reach not only Kiev, but also near Lvov on the border between Ukraine and Poland.

In a delirious interview with Russian media on Friday, Medvedev said that during the Soviet era the world was in balance, “and now what the hell is that.”

“In order to protect the Soviet state, in the end, the entire world balance of power rested on it and on the confrontation between the Warsaw Pact and NATO. And this, by the way, did not allow the imbalance of the situation. Well, you can blame the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union and, accordingly, NATO for this as much as you like, but the world was in balance, and now what the hell…” he said characteristically.

Referring to the war in Ukraine, he said that nothing could be ruled out and, if necessary, the Russians would also reach Kyiv or Lvov in order to “destroy this infection.”

“Nothing can be ruled out here. If you need to go to Kiev, then you need to go to Kiev, if you need to go to Lviv, then you need to go to Lviv to eradicate this infection, ”he said in an interview.

He then argued that it was wrong to say that the American army was the first in the world, and Russia was the second, because in the event of a war between them it would be impossible to determine the winner.

“To say that the American military is in the first place, and ours is in the second, is wrong for one simple reason. If these armies go to war, how will we decide the winner? It is clear that in this case there will be no winner.

The UN was next in line. Medvedev said that the United Nations has every chance to repeat the sad fate of the League of Nations, noting that the level of politicization there is now prohibitive.
