Here the full "quotation" from Medvedev, yet still not in context.
Russia continues shocking statements. Medvedev: "We want the opportunity to build a Eurasia from Lisbon to Vladivostok" Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's former president and former prime minister and current deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, says Russia's goal in a month-and-a-half-long bloody war against Ukraine is "the opportunity to build an open Eurasia from Lisbon to Vladivostok". Medvedev made the shocking statement in a post on his Telegram account. He also said that Putin had "firmly set the goal of demilitarizing and denazifying Ukraine", echoing the Kremlin's ridiculous rhetoric that the leadership of the Ukrainian state is "Nazi". "The most important goal is to change the bloody and mythical conscience of some of today's Ukrainians. The goal is peace for future generations of Ukrainians and the opportunity to build an open Eurasia, from Lisbon to Vladivostok," the Russian PM said. Pentagon spokesperson: Ukraine can win the war Asked in a press briefing if the U.S. goal is strategic defeat of Russia, Pentagon spokesperson, John F. Kirby said that "U.S. goal is to make sure that Ukraine can continue to defend itself as they continue to work on a on a diplomatic solution here. And then the secondary goal is to make sure that we can bolster NATO's Eastern Flank so that we can deter any aggression, any potential aggression by Russia and by Mr. Putin."
