Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev again threatened US President Donald Trump over the possible delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
Medvedev warns of potential consequences of transferring Tomahawks to Ukraine
Medvedev emphasized that he believes statements about the transfer of these missiles to Ukraine are merely a “bluff” on the part of the United States, comparable to the presence of American submarines near Russia’s borders. He also warned that the situation could end extremely badly if such steps were taken.
This is not the first time Medvedev has threatened Trump. In July of this year, after Trump shortened the deadline for the Kremlin to reach a peace agreement with Ukraine from 50 to 10 days (until August 8), the Kremlin announced the continuation of a “special military operation.” Medvedev then characterized Trump’s demand as a “step toward war between Russia and the United States.”
In response to Medvedev’s remarks, Trump warned of the need for caution, stating that the American president was “entering very dangerous territory.” Medvedev, meanwhile, published a post alluding to “walking dead” films and mentioned the danger of the so-called “Dead Hand.”
Following these statements, Trump ordered the deployment of two US nuclear submarines in “relevant regions” as a countermeasure to potential threats.
Russia’s Deputy Security Council Chairman Dmitry Medvedev issued sharp warnings toward the UK and Ukraine after London announced $1.3 billion in military assistance to Kyiv.
Medvedev, who previously served as Russia’s president, took to Telegram to attack UK Foreign Secretary David Lemmy, calling him a “fool” and branding the British as “thieves.” He further claimed that Moscow now has the “right” to reclaim the frozen Russian assets used to fund the aid, hinting at possible territorial actions.
