Medvedev demands the destruction of Ukraine: expert assesses whether the US will finally respond

Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman said that Medvedev's latest statements are cards in Lindsey Graham's hands, which he will present to Congress to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation, Politeka reports.
He wrote about this in his blog.
"We received an informal response (ed. - to the Ukrainian memorandum) from Medvedev. Well, how informal? The second person in Russia officially declares on the social network X that they are conducting negotiations solely as a distraction in order to continue the war. And the Russian Federation does not pursue any other goals in these negotiations. "Negotiations with Ukraine are organized for the quickest victory and complete destruction of the neo-Nazi government." That is, a direct answer," emphasizes Mikhail Sheitelman.
As the expert recalls, he always said that Medvedev should be listened to, while everyone called him an alcoholic, that his posts should be translated and shown in the US. First, he says, Keith Kellogg responded to a post where Medvedev threatened World War III, and now Lindsey Graham has responded by thanking Medvedev for a rare moment of honesty.
“This gives Lindsey Graham a lot of cards. It seems to me that we constantly give cards to Trump, and to those, and to everyone, and to anyone. But Medvedev gave Lindsey Graham simply excellent cards, supplemented him with at least a straight ending with an ace. And now Lindsey Graham has something to go to the Senate with – with Medvedev’s statement that he is going to start World War III, that Russia’s goal is to destroy Ukraine,” explains Mikhail Sheitelman.
In addition, the expert notes, there was another surprise, because Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson said that many members of Congress want to impose the toughest sanctions against Russia, and he supports Lindsey Graham’s idea of 500% tariffs for Russia’s allies.
