1 August 2025 23:17
US President Donald Trump said that he ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines because of nuclear threats from Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. The American leader wrote about this on his social network Truth Social, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports
Trump noted that Medvedev’s threats are “extremely provocative.” And, according to him, he decided not to ignore them.
“I have ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed to the appropriate regions just in case these stupid and inflammatory statements turn out to be more than just words. Words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences, and I hope this will not be one of those cases,” Trump emphasized.
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev reacted extremely sharply to US President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Russia regarding secondary tariffs.
The odious politician assured that every ultimatum of the American leader is a step towards a war between Russia and the United States.
In response , Trump emphasized that Medvedev should watch his words, as he was “entering very dangerous territory.”
What triggered the Kremlin’s reaction
on July 28, Donald Trump made a sharp statement about the prolongation of the war in Ukraine. He announced his intention to significantly shorten the deadline he had previously given Russia for a peace agreement on Ukraine. While previously it was 50 days, Trump said he was giving the Kremlin only 10-12 days.
He explained this decision by the lack of progress in attempts to force Russia to negotiate and harsh criticism of Vladimir Putin. In particular, the American leader said that he was “very disappointed” with the Kremlin’s actions, in particular, the continuation of attacks on Ukraine despite diplomatic efforts.
These words provoked an aggressive response from the Russian side. Medvedev, known for his radical and often bellicose statements, once again used nuclear rhetoric, hinting that Russia is ready for a conflict even with the United States.
