Russia claimed on Wednesday that US President Donald Trump is “not being informed enough” concerning the Ukraine struggle and the developments happening on this context.
“Trump says a lot of things. We, naturally, read and follow all of this. But in many ways, we come to the conclusion that Trump is not being sufficiently informed about what is really happening in the context of the Ukrainian-Russian confrontation,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov informed journalist Pavel Zarubin in an interview.
Ryabkov’s remarks come following Trump’s warning his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had “gone absolutely CRAZY” and that he’s “playing with fire” after Russian strikes on Ukraine in current days.
“Regarding Trump’s words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!” Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, mentioned on X late Tuesday.
The deputy international minister argued that Trump is especially not being knowledgeable about frequent Ukrainian strikes on Russian cities, which he described as “terrorist attacks,” saying the US president is barely conscious of their “countermeasures.”
Ryabkov added that Trump additionally “does not fully understand that the Russian Federation is striking exclusively at Ukrainian military infrastructure facilities or military-industrial complex facilities.”
Earlier, the Defense Ministry claimed that its air defenses intercepted 296 Ukrainian drones in a single day, whereas Ukraine’s Air Force on Telegram claimed downing 71 out of 88 drones launched by Moscow.
US authorities didn’t instantly touch upon Ryabkov’s remarks.
Trump has up to now failed in pursuing Putin for a ceasefire in Ukraine. The two, after a dialog on May 19, agreed that there shall be talks between Russia and Ukraine, and that Moscow will put together a memorandum outlining key rules of a possible settlement with Ukraine.
