Dmitry Medvedev has launched another inflammatory attack with a new post full of insults and abuse, this time on Telegram, against Volodymyr Zelensky. Specifically about the Ukrainian president, he said that “Death surrounds him,” while demanding that after his death, his corpse be displayed “for scientific purposes in a museum in St. Petersburg“. In his post, the Russian official referenced Zelensky’s Christmas message, saying that the Ukrainian president wished for the death of “one person” – presumably referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Recently, some pathetic fabric creation wished for the death of “one person“. It’s clear to everyone that he doesn’t just wish for the destruction of “one person“, but all of us and our country. And he didn’t just wish it, but also gave instructions for mass attacks“, Medvedev wrote. “I won’t write here about his violent death, although right now Death surrounds this old fool“, he added.
Medvedev, currently deputy chairman of the Security Council, is known for the insults he regularly unleashes against Ukraine and its allies, with his outbursts intensifying especially after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He didn’t name Zelensky, but instead continued with new insults and abuse to refer to the Ukrainian leader.
After Zelensky’s impending death, his embalmed body “should be displayed in the Kunstkamera of St. Petersburg, where Russian tsars collected freaks for the entertainment of their descendants. And studied thoroughly, because it’s quite possible we have before us another emissary from distant space, a member of the special species scurra sordidus, who came to us from a dwarf galaxy in Tucana“.
In the 18th century, Tsar Peter I had displayed scientific objects in this collection of curiosities, including many deformities.
Zelensky: His Christmas message before Medvedev’s abusive response
It should be recalled that in his Christmas Eve message to the Ukrainian people, Zelensky said: “”May he die,” each of us can think it privately“. He didn’t mention a name, but it was widely believed he was referring to Putin. The Ukrainian president continued in his message saying: “But when we turn to God, naturally, we ask for something greater. We ask for peace for Ukraine“.
Yesterday Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Ukraine of attempting a drone attack targeting Putin’s residence, which Kyiv denied. US President Donald Trump confirmed he was briefed about such an attack by Putin. “That’s not good“, Trump said.
Since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, neither side has so far carried out raids against the heads of state of the two warring countries.
Russian special forces targeted Zelensky in the first days of the 2022 invasion and, according to Ukrainian security services, several Russian assassination attempts have since been thwarted.
