Russia's former president said Moscow's main goal is 'inflicting maximum damage' on Ukraine as the US pauses weapons aid
Briefly

Dmitry Medvedev emphasized Russia's goal of maximum damage to Ukraine amidst the suspension of US military aid. In light of the pause, he asserted that Russia should intensify battlefield efforts. Medvedev anticipates a swift resumption of US arms supply following negotiations, given Europe's increased military support for Ukraine. He described the current status of Russia's military campaign, noting ongoing resistance from Ukraine but asserting that the situation is favorable for Russian advances, as indicated by recent missile attacks including Iskander ballistic missiles alongside drone assaults.
"Inflicting maximum damage to the enemy on the ground remains our primary objective today," Medvedev wrote in a social media post on Wednesday.
"As soon as the deal is concluded, American arms supplies will likely resume (especially since Europe has already increased them)," Medvedev wrote.
Medvedev, who was Russia's president from 2008 to 2012, still holds a key position in the Kremlin's top military decision-making body.
