Medvedev calls on UK to return the Falklands to Argentina

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Monday said it was double-faced of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to say that Russia needs to pull its troops out of Ukraine and called on the UK to return the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) to Argentina.

Medvedev was responding to Sunak’s statement that no talks were possible until Russia withdrew its forces from Ukraine, even as everyone else says it’s up to Ukrainians.

"It amounts to lies, duplicity and extreme cynicism. The British had better scoot from the Malvinas Islands and give them back to the Argentinians. The Falklands are not British, but Argentine!" the official said.
