The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that US President Donald Trump's choice to call off a conference with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Budapest and enact penalties on prominent Russian oil corporations signifies that Washington has “embarked on a war footing with Russia,” he penned on his Telegram platform.
“What’s coming? Will there be more armaments, apart from the well-known Tomahawks? If any of the many commentators still harbored dreams, comprehend this. The USA represents our adversary, and their loquacious “pacifier” (Trump – ed.) has presently definitively commenced a route of hostilities with Russia,” Medvedev underscored in his combative message.
He further mentioned that even if the US president isn’t yet dynamically engaged in the conflict on Ukraine’s behalf, this struggle now rests on his shoulders, since he has entirely backed European nations. Nevertheless, Medvedev doesn’t mask his slight contentment regarding this positional shift, since the Russian Federation can purportedly assault Ukraine with “a vast range of weaponry.”
“One can strike with diverse forms of arms at all Bandera sanctuaries, without sparing a glance at needless discussions. And secure victory precisely where achievable – on the battleground, not at the desk. Eradicating foes, not forging pointless “agreements”,” the second-in-command of the Security Council inscribes.
On October 22, Trump made known that his assembly with the Russian strongman in Budapest was terminated and would not transpire “in the immediate term.” This unfolded following a strained telephone exchange between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Mark Rubio, which was intended to establish the groundwork for deliberations in Hungary, culminating in a charged environment.
During a session with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Washington, Trump communicated to reporters that “ the juncture has arrived “ to intensify penalties against Russia, therefore the US Treasury Department later implemented limitations on Rosneft , Lukoil and their affiliates . In spite of this, the Americans still aim to convene a parley with Russia – Rubio highlighted that Washington remains “keen on collaboration if there exists an avenue to establish accord.”
