The Kremlin has urged Donald Trump to be extremely “careful” after the American president said he’d ordered two nuclear submarines to be repositioned in response to statements made by the former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev.
Medvedev, a close ally of Putin who now serves as deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, angered Trump by likening him to “Sleepy Joe” Biden and boasting about Russia’s nuclear strike capabilities on social media. Trump wrote in a furious tirade on Truth Social that he’d sent the subs to “the appropriate regions” in case “these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.”
Responding on Monday to Trump’s announcement, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “We approach any statements related to nuclear issues with great caution. Russia is firmly committed to nuclear non-proliferation, and we believe that all parties should exercise the utmost restraint when it comes to nuclear rhetoric.”
