Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has criticized the joint trip to Kyiv by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi as useless.

"European fans of frogs, liverwurst and spaghetti love to visit Kyiv," Medvedev wrote on his Twitter account on Thursday.

"With zero benefit."

Politicians would have to travel by train like they did 100 years ago.

They held out the prospect of EU membership and "old howitzers" for Ukraine, said Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.

'It's all good.

But it won't bring Ukraine any closer to peace.

The clock is ticking.” Scholz, Macron and Draghi traveled to Kyiv that night to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Medvedev was head of the Kremlin between 2008 and 2012.

Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, he has often made disparaging remarks about the neighboring country and Western states.

Only on Wednesday did he question the continued existence of Ukraine as a sovereign state in a post on the social network Telegram.
