Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev raised the specter of World War III on Tuesday, as the speech between the White House and the Kremlin rose in the war in Ukraine.
MEDVEDEv, who is now a senior security official, was responding to President Donald Trump Spread the social truth Tobis, his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, while Moscow continued the rains over its neighbor.
“What Vladimir Putin does not realize is that if it is not for me, it will happen a lot of really bad things for Russia, and I mean very bad,” Trump wrote, who seems to be losing his patience because there is no ceasefire deal, adding, “He plays with fire!”
After about three hours, Medvedev moved to X, she wrote, “I just know something really bad – World War II. I hope Trump will understand this!”
This, in turn, directed almost an immediate reprimand from Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine, retired Litanant General Keith Keel who described the statements of Medvedev “reckless” In a post on X. With a warning that Russia was raising fears of another world war, Kelog wrote that “there is no global power.”
He added that Trump was working on Samir, a truce in the war that entered its fourth year in February and tens of thousands of lives on both sides.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov seems to play tension during a press conference on Wednesday, where he thanked Trump “personally” for his efforts. But he said: “At the same time, there are many nuances on the basis of national interests, which cannot be sacrificed and that none of the parties will sacrifice.”
While Putin has never raised the ghost In February 2022.
In a speech in Reed Square in Moscow last May, the Russian leader pledged to stand against attempts by Western Ukraine allies to contain Russia. “We will not allow anyone to threaten us,” he said. “Our strategic forces are always in combat preparation,” he added, in reference to Russia’s nuclear arsenal, the largest in the world.
Trump, who promised on multiple occasions to end the war within 24 hours of taking office, has found a lot different since the start of his second term, with mixed messages about Putin.
Trump praised Putin as a strong leader who can do with him and the husband exchanged a friendly phone call, albeit in fruitful, last week. Shortly after that, he announced that Russia and Ukraine “will immediately start negotiations towards the ceasefire.”
But as Putin stopped peace talks, it appears that Trump’s frustration with the Russian leader, who was called “Majnoon” as a social Sunday after Moscow launched widespread strikes at Ukraine. The Kremlin rejected his comments as “emotional excess pregnancy.”
Russia has previously said it is working on a memorandum to understand Moscow’s demands as part of negotiations with Kyiv. But on Tuesday, Kelog said that the United States is still awaiting “receiving the RU (Duration Paper) note that it promised a week ago.”
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement that the Kremlin continues to formulate this memo and will include a schedule for the peace agreement and a possible ceasefire scenario.
She added that this will be sent to Ukraine, which previously rejected Russian demands not to join NATO, and to accept the permanent “neutrality” between Moscow and the West and waive its request for four lands in the east of the country that Russia illegally moved months after the start of the war.
Inside Ukraine, Russian forces continue to grind them forward in the battlefield. Ukrainian officials said one person was killed and more than twenty ballistic missile injuries across the country overnight.
Elsewhere, Ukraine President Volodimir Zellinsky will meet German news consultant Friedrich Mirz on Wednesday, his office said in a statement.
Zelinski said in his speech during the night on Wednesday that the two leaders are expected to discuss Kiev’s willingness to respond to Russian strikes and threats, including increasing the production of drones and missiles.
It comes after Mirz said on Tuesday that his government will raise all the scope restrictions on the weapons it sends to Ukraine, allowing Kev to defend itself by attacking military positions in the depth of Russia.
Peskov described Mirz’s decision as “very dangerous,” adding, “All this is greatly inconsistent with peace efforts, against the peace process that begins and is still in a very fragile state.”
