Details: Medvedev posted a video showing almost all of Ukraine marked as a so-called "buffer zone".

He captioned the video: "If military aid to the Banderite regime continues, the buffer zone could look like this".

Background: 

• Medvedev has previously threatened to capture Kyiv and Odesa, issued nuclear threats to the West, and said Russian tanks could appear in Berlin. Recently, he also suggested that Kyiv might never see 10 May after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to agree to a sham three-day ceasefire put forward by Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin.
• On 22 May, Putin informed his government of his decision to create a "security buffer zone" along the border with Ukraine.
