Writing on his Telegram channel, Medvedev said: “The American is once again back on his favorite political swing.”
Commenting on Trump’s statements about a settlement in Ukraine, he added: “Trump's declarations go like this — ‘I’m satisfied with the results of my talks with Putin. I’m dissatisfied with the outcome of my call with Putin... We are not providing Ukraine with new weapons... We will provide Ukraine with a large amount of weapons for defense.’”
Medvedev questioned: “How are we supposed to deal with this? We will respond as we have before — in the same manner followed by our fighters and by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.”
He concluded: “With no reaction... We will continue to pursue the goals of the military operation in Ukraine, reclaim our territories, and fight until victory.”
Last night, Trump pledged to send more weapons to Ukraine, emphasizing that they would primarily be defensive in nature. Following Trump’s statement, the Pentagon announced it would send “primarily defensive” weapons to Ukraine.
