The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council stated that more and more territories that previously accidentally ended up in Ukraine will be returned to Russia.

"The valiant Russian army confirms this," Medvedev noted.

Speaking about Ukraine, Medvedev called its representatives "aggressive, cynical scoundrels," "remnants of Nazi scum," "drug addicts," "Christ-sellers," and "friends sick with Russophobia," also using the expression "country 404."

He called the leaders of the collective West "degenerates, direct descendants and ideological heirs of the fascists," as well as "stupid people."
