Trump repositions 2 nuclear submarines after comments from former Russian president

president Donald Trump announced on Friday that he had “ordered two nuclear submarines in the appropriate areas” after “very provocative data” made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Medvedev said earlier this week that Trump’s new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine is a “step towards war.”

“Based on the very provocative statements of the former president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the vice -president of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has ordered the placement of nuclear submarines in the appropriate areas, only in the event of these foolish and inflammatory statements more than that,”

“The words are very important, and they can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this is not one of these cases,” he added.

Medvedev warns Trump’s new deadline to end the conflict of Russia, Ukraine, is a “step towards war”

Medvedev, now the Vice -President of the Security Council in Russia, has warned that Trump’s announcement on Monday should end Russia the conflict with Ukraine within 10 to 12 days will not end well for the United States

“Trump plays a warning game with Russia: 50 days or 10 … he must remember two things: 1. Russia is not Israel or even Iran.” Do not go down on the path of the sleeper atmosphere! ”

While Trump announced on July 14 that it will sign a “severe tariff” against Russia if Moscow fails to agree on a peace agreement within 50 days, Trump said on Monday that waiting in this time period was useless amid suspended negotiations.

“I will make a new deadline, from 10 to 10 or 12 days of the day,” Trump told reporters from Scotland. “There is no reason to wait. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but we don’t see any progress made.”

Trump’s comments came when his frustration with Putin has grown in recent weeks amid any progress towards peace between Russia and Ukraine, and only one day after Russia has launched more than 300 drones, four Cruise missiles and three ballistic missiles in Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.

Trump also wrote on Friday that “I just reported that nearly 20,000 Russian soldiers died this month in the ridiculous war with Ukraine.

“Russia has lost 112,500 soldiers since the beginning of the year. This is a lot of unnecessary death! However, Ukraine has also suffered.” Ukraine also lost civilians, but in smaller numbers, as Russian missiles were disrupted, and other Ukrainian languages. This is a war that should never have happened – this is the Biden war, not “Trump”. I am only here to see if I can stop it! ”
