Russia's Medvedev: We Will Set Terms for Peace in Ukraine


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday that Russia will prevail in Ukraine and will set the terms for a future peace deal with Kiev.

"Russia will achieve all its goals. There will be peace - on our terms," Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said in a post on Telegram, Reuters reported.

The former leader, once held up in the West as a possible partner, has become outspoken in his criticism of the West since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
