Russia’s ex-president has released a map showing a shrunken Ukraine with borders only encompassing the Kyiv region
A severe wave of reactions broke out after the provocative post made by the former president of Russia and vice-chairman of the country’s security council, Dmitry Medvedev.
He published two maps via Telegram, one of which captures the “ambitions”, as he says, of Volodymyr Zelensky for Ukraine and a second one that reflects the assessments of “Western analysts” for the Ukrainian territories after the end of the war.
More specifically, on July 27, the first of the maps depicts the Ukrainian region, which includes the Crimean peninsula and the two eastern provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk. “In the drug-addled mind of the president of Ukraine, this is the picture of his country’s bright future,” Medvedev wrote, referring to the first map.
Here is the second map showing a shrunken Ukraine with the borders only encompassing the Kiev region, with the rest of the territories annexed by Poland, Hungary, Romania and mostly Russia. “Western analysts believe it will actually look something like this,” Medvedev wrote in his post about the second map, without specifying which analysts he was referring to.
