"There isnt a single country in the world that is as easily manipulated as America, Matveychev said. Heres what will be on the table after our victory... After Ukraines demilitarization is completed... were going to raise the stakes... For example, the lifting of all sanctions... The dissolution of NATO, because the presence of NATO in some countries is getting in our way. Extradition of all war criminals... like [Anton] Herashchenko [former deputy minister at the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs], Zelensky, [former President of Ukraine Petro] Poroshenko. Extradition of various oligarchs, like [Mikhail] Khodorkovsky."
"We should be thinking about reparations from the damage that was caused by the sanctions and the war itself, because that too costs money and we should get it back. The return of all Russian properties, those of the Russian empire, the Soviet Union and current Russia, which has been seized in the United States, and so on."
"Are you including Alaska and Fort Ross? the host asked.
That was my next point. As well as the Antarctic," Matveychev continued. "We discovered it, so it belongs to us... Also, the return of all medals that have been unlawfully taken from our sportsmen during all Olympic games, as well as the extradition of [Grigory] Rodchenkov, along with the extradition of multiple other criminals well want. I think we should start voicing all of that, so they understand what will be on the table. You didnt want to talk to us about something small, like Ukraines neutrality, heres what you get. And thats not even all of it.
