Medvedev: Russia Rejects Trump’s ‘Show Deadline
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and TASS, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, addressed the 50-day deadline imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Russia for reaching a peace agreement with Ukraine, emphasizing that Moscow disregards these ultimatums.
In a message posted on the social media platform X, Medvedev wrote: ”Trump issued a theatrical deadline to the Kremlin. The world waited anxiously for its consequences. Hostile Europe was disappointed as Russia paid no attention.”
Medvedev is the first senior Russian official to respond publicly to Trump’s remarks from yesterday.
Yesterday, Trump announced that Washington will continue supplying weapons and military equipment to Ukraine as long as Europe finances it. He said NATO would coordinate these efforts and warned that if Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine within 50 days, the U.S. would impose 100 percent tariffs against Moscow and its trading partners.
