Medvedev's Admission: Ukraine Drone Strikes Expose Russia's 'Swift Victory' Goal On June 5th, 2025, a series of drone strikes targeted Russian long-range airfields, prompting a significant response from the Kremlin. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, revealed Moscow's true intentions in a Telegram post, stating that the Istanbul peace talks were not about compromise but about achieving a rapid victory and crushing the Ukrainian government. The video shows footage of the strikes, which reportedly destroyed or damaged several strategic bombers, costing Russia an estimated $7 billion. US Senator Lindsey Graham's reaction was immediate and pointed. In a public statement, he thanked Medvedev for the "moment of truth," emphasizing that Russia's true intentions were now clear to the world. "Thank you for your honesty," Graham stated, implying that Russia had no genuine interest in peace negotiations. The video also shows footage of Graham making this statement.
