The Ukraine and NATO have so far refused to negotiate an end to the war in the Ukraine that they are losing very badly, or to militarily and politically surrender to the Russian Federation.
Their inaction and incompetence have, thus, left the door wide open for the Russians to draw up the map of the New Ukraine, which they evidently are going to impose on the Ukraine by diktat.
Dmitry Medvedev publicly presented the map yesterday at a youth forum in Sochi, saying that the territories on both sides of the Dnieper River are historic Russian lands and should come home to the Russian Federation. He also said that Russia will not negotiate with the current government in Kiev, but will continue fighting until the government in Kiev surrenders.
Here’s a photo of Medvedev standing in front of the new map. Enlarge it in your browser if necessary to see it in better detail.

The objectives of the Kremlin’s military operation in the soon-to-be-former Ukraine are clear as day. The Russians intend to incorporate everything east of a line from north of Kiev and down to the Odessa oblast into the Russian Federation. That chunk of real estate represents maybe 60% of what will soon be the former Ukraine.
The Kiev government will remain as a small, inconsequential, landlocked city-state.
The other ten oblasts in the western Ukraine will be handed over to Poland, Hungary and Romania, with Poland taking the lion’s share.
This is the deal that is being shoved in the face of NATO and the Kiev regime of V. Zelensky.
To this day Russia regards Kiev as the ancestral originating point of Russian history and the Russian people.
Therefore, if NATO and the regime in Kiev persist in neither surrendering nor negotiating, it would not surprise me if the Russians elect to also take Kiev, in the face of willful intransigence.
By publicly displaying the near-future map of what used to be the Ukraine, the Russian Federation is giving legal notice of the new, upcoming political reality in Eastern Europe. These are the terms that the Russian Federation is going to impose on NATO and Kiev, in view of their refusal to surrender or negotiate in good faith.
The territories that the Russian Federation is disposed to distribute to Poland, Hungary and Romania are lands which were historically under their control or in their immediate sphere of influence in past centuries.
If the NATO powers do not or will not accept this Russian, politico-military fait accompli in what will soon be the former Ukraine, then they will have to go to war against the Russian army to try to stop it. That will be disastrous - - most of all for the NATO countries - - in that the Russians have already made clear that they would respond with nuclear weapons to any such NATO attack.
Failing that, it’s just about a done deal. The next step for NATO is binary: a) launch a catastrophic, major military operation directly against Russia, or b) concede defeat, withdraw their troops and war machines from the territory of what used to be the Ukraine, and go home.
