Medvedev calls Baltic states "Russia’s provinces" and Poland "temporarily occupied"

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has called Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia "Russian provinces" and Poland "temporarily occupied"

Medvedev made the statement on Twitter. 

In this way, he reacted to French President Emmanuel Macron's statement that Russia suffered a geopolitical defeat and turned into a vassal of China after the invasion of Ukraine. 

"A geopolitical loss? It was back in 2022 that NATO was lazily shooing us away when the matter concerned the security guarantees. Like, leave us alone, no time for you. And now, all of the NATO member states go to bed at night, and wake up in the morning thinking of Russia. Moreover, some of the especially cowardly and suffering from phantom pains, like temporarily occupied Poland and our Baltic provinces, have well soiled themselves. 

So, if there has indeed been a loss, it is that of the primitive NATO politics, with its underlying ambition to play the exceptional role in the 21st century," Medvedev wrote. 

Finally, he added that Europe and France themselves have allegedly turned into vassals of the United States.  

"Speaking of vassal dependence… Look who’s talking! Europe, the beauty, including France, has turned into an elderly wench who is especially thoroughly satisfying all of the most perverted whims of Americans. And in the process, it is hurting its own economy and ordinary Europeans with masochistic lust," Medvedev said.
