Russia's Medinsky Doubles Down on Territorial claims says 'Every Inch Will Return! | Times Now World

Russian presidential aide and negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said that “every inch” of territory claimed by Moscow would eventually return to Russia, issuing a hardline message after the latest trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi. Responding to a question about Western media coverage of the negotiations and whether territorial issues had been discussed, Medinsky dismissed reports targeting the Russian delegation as propaganda and described them as evidence of weakness in the opposing position. He then reiterated Moscow's territorial claims, saying the land would return to Russia “one way or another”, while accusing European newspapers of living in a world of illusions. His remarks underline the continuing divide over territorial issues in the diplomatic efforts to address the Russia-Ukraine conflict. No details of a breakthrough or agreement on territorial questions were announced in the remarks.
