Former president Dmitry Medvedev wrote:
Trump’s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe (Biden) road!
The tweet provoked a response from United States of America (USA) senator Lindsey Graham.
“To those in Russia who believe that President Trump is not serious about ending the bloodbath between Russia and Ukraine: You and your customers will soon be sadly mistaken. You will also soon see that Joe Biden is no longer president. Get to the peace table,” Graham stated.
But Medvedev shot back: “It’s not for you or Trump to dictate when to ‘get at the peace table’. Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!”
Medvedev is currently Russia’s deputy security council chairperson, which is chaired by President Vladimir Putin.
