."I am no longer interested in talking to Putin," Donald Trump later said. "We had had a very frank conversation and then the bombing continued," the US president stressed.
Medvedev: each ultimatum from Trump a step towards war
Every ultimatum by Donald Trump to Russia is 'a step towards war' with the US itself. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council, wrote this on X, commenting on the US president's announcement of his intention to reduce the time given to Moscow to reach peace with Ukraine from 50 to 10-12 days. "Russia is not Israel and neither is Iran," wrote Medvedev, who added: "Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine but with its own country." "Don't go the way of Sleepy Joe," he concludes, referring to former US President Biden.
