The former president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev warned that the war in Ukraine could last decades, with periods of fighting punctuated by ceasefires, Russia’s state-run RIA news agency reported Thursday.
Mr. Medvedev, who is currently vice chairman of Russia’s powerful national security council, made the assessment during a visit to Vietnam.
The former president ally of current president Vladimir Putin, he is accustomed to harsh positions on war. Last month, he called the Ukrainian government a “contamination.”
“This conflict will last a very long time, probably decades,” Mr Medvedev said, according to RIA. “As long as there is such a government there, we will have (…) three years of truce, two years of war and all over again,” he predicted, repeating Moscow’s claim that Kiev is ruled by Nazis.
