Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, referred to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia as "Russian provinces" and Poland as "temporarily occupied."

Medvedev stated this in a post on Twitter, reacting to French President Emmanuel Macron's statement that due to its invasion of Ukraine, Russia had suffered a geopolitical defeat and become a vassal of China.

"A geopolitical loss? Back in 2022, NATO lazily pushed us away when it came to security guarantees. But now, all NATO countries go to bed and wake up with thoughts about Russia. Moreover, some, particularly the cowardly ones suffering from phantom pains, like 'temporarily occupied' Poland and our 'Baltic provinces,' have thoroughly 'soiled' themselves. Therefore, if there indeed has been a loss, it is due to the primitive politics of NATO with its fundamental ambition to play an exceptional role in the 21st century," Medvedev wrote.

In conclusion, he added that Europe, and France in particular, have allegedly turned into vassals of the USA themselves.

"When it comes to vassal dependency, beauty-Europe, including France, has turned itself into an 'old maid' that meticulously satisfies all perverted whims of Americans. And in the process of masochistic lust, it harms its own economy and ordinary Europeans," Medvedev responded.

On May 10, Dmitry Medvedev stated that after the Poles' renaming of Kaliningrad, Poland's name also needs to be changed, and Poland should be annexed to Russia altogether. On May 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Emmanuel Macron held talks in Paris.
