US President Donald Trump has announced that he has ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in strategic regions, following “highly provocative statements” from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The move comes as tensions between the US and Russia escalate over the conflict in Ukraine.
Medvedev, who is now Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, warned that Trump’s new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine is a step towards war. He stated that every ultimatum from the US increases the risk of war and advised Trump not to take actions that could lead to conflict.
Trump responded to Medvedev’s comments by announcing his own deadline, which he believes will force Russia to make concessions on the issue. The President also expressed frustration with his predecessor, Joe Biden, over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The situation has seen increased tensions between the US and Russia, with both sides accusing each other of military aggression. Trump’s announcement has sparked concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict.
