Dmitri Medvedev suggests that the United States should assassinate Volodymyr Zelensky

Dmitri Medvedev, former president of Russia and current deputy chairman of Moscow’s Security Council, suggested that the United States should assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The statement, addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump, was reported by Nexta.

Medvedev used extremely aggressive language and allegedly asked Trump to summon the defense secretary and the CIA director to “resolve” what he called an “unpleasant problem.” The statement represents the Russian official’s latest outburst, as he is known for threats concerning a possible nuclear conflict and the outbreak of World War III.

In his previous messages, Medvedev argued that Russia can protect its interests only through demonstrations of force and by instilling “instinctive fear” in Europe. He accused Germany and other European states of preparing a new invasion against Russia, which he compared to the Nazi “Barbarossa” operation.

The recent statements came after Germany designated Moscow as the main threat to its own security and to NATO and began preparing its civilian infrastructure for the possibility of an armed conflict. Medvedev also repeated accusations concerning Germany’s allegedly incomplete denazification after World War II.
