Medvedev Calls for Russia's Special Operation to Extend Beyond Kyiv

According to SAEDNEWS, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has called for the special military operation to be extended beyond Ukraine’s borders. He stated, “From this moment on, the special military operation must become explicitly extraterritorial. This is no longer an operation to regain our lands and punish Nazis. We can and should move deeper into the yet existing Ukraine, towards Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolayev. Towards Kiev and beyond,” in a message posted on Telegram.

Medvedev emphasized that "there should be no limits in terms of the borders of the Ukrainian Reich that some recognize." He described the conflict as a "terrorist operation carried out by the Banderites," insisting that it should "remove all taboos from this topic." He further declared, "We will stop only when we consider it appropriate and beneficial."

This statement comes on the heels of significant violence in the Kursk Region, which experienced a massive attack from Ukraine on August 6, resulting in the deaths of five civilians and injuries to 31 others, including six children.
