Putin mouthpiece Dmitry Medvedev has shared a map which suggests that the Kremlin tyrant wants to turn the whole of Ukraine - apart from a tiny sliver on Poland's border - into a 'buffer zone'.
Medvedev - an ex-president of Russia and now a top security and political official - wrote on X: 'If military aid to the [Kyiv] regime continues, the buffer zone could look like this.'
He offered no further explanation, but reasoned in a Telegram post earlier this month that such a large zone was necessary to protect Belgorod from long-range Western weapons supplied to Ukraine, such as the British Storm Shadow with a range of more than 150 miles.
The post came as Moscow pummeled Ukraine with devastating strikes on Sunday, forcing NATO to scramble warplanes from Poland as a defensive measure for the second night in a row.
US President Donald Trump last night accused the Kremlin dictator of going 'absolutely CRAZY… needlessly killing a lot of people', and threatened tougher sanctions in response to the killing.
