Medvedev wrote on his official page on the social media platform X in English, according to RT channel, marking Moscow’s first official reaction to Washington’s statements yesterday, saying: “Trump issued a showy warning to the Kremlin. The world trembled, expecting consequences. The hostile European Union was disappointed. As for Russia, it paid no attention.”
U.S. President Donald Trump announced yesterday that Washington would impose tariffs on Russia and its trade partners if Moscow failed to reach a settlement agreement regarding Ukraine within 50 days.
