A Russian politician and spokesman for President Vladimir Putin has called for Alaska to return to Russia as a form of “repair”.
Russian State Duma member Oleg Matveychev told a television host on Sunday that Russia “should think about reparations” from the United States for sanctions imposed on Russia after the war against Ukraine, such as the Daily Beast reported.
The brutal demand formed part of a list of Russia’s future demands following its invasion of Ukraine under the false guise of “demilitarization” and “de-Nazification” of Ukraine, although the analysis suggests that Moscow has so far failed in its goals. is to kill Kyiv.
“We should think about repairing the damage caused by the sanctions and the war itself,” Mr Matveychev told Russia1, the Kremlin-controlled transmitter, on Sunday. “
Asked if that included Alaska and a former Russian settlement in California or not, Mr Mateychev told host Vladimir Soloviev that he wanted to return “all Russian property” after billions in sanctions were imposed on Russia to invade Ukraine. .
These include “those captured by the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and present-day Russia in the United States, and so on … As well as Antarctica … We discovered it, so it belongs to us,” Mr Matveychev added, according to reports.
While Alaska was sold by the Russian Empire in 1867, in an agreement known as the Alaska Purchase after an end to Russian expansion in America, Fort Ross, the southernmost settlement in the United States, was abandoned until 1841 as an Arctic fur trade. or borrowed.
The Sunday night episode of Sunday evening with Vladimir Soloviev also called on Mr Matveychev to “lift all sanctions …. the dissolution of NATO”, and the return of all Russian Olympic medals following a Russian “victory” in Ukraine.
A “military tribunal” for so-called Ukrainian “terrorists” is being conducted, according to Russian deputies, in remarks that are nothing more than reports of Moscow panning for public executions after Ukraine.
While the Russians have so far been told that their forces are “liberating” Ukraine from a “Nazi” president, Moscow has waged a full-scale war on Kyiv for no reason, causing civilian deaths and a widespread humanitarian crisis.
Russia has suffered heavy losses, with an estimated thousands of Russian soldiers killed in its war against Ukraine so far, although Moscow has punished such numbers – or any news that suggests it is losing.
Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski tweeted Tuesday night about the demands for her state, with a meme from American country star Taylor Swift in the words, “That will never, ever, ever happen!”
