Russia WARN Trump with World War 3 after the U.S. President said Putin is 'Playing with fire' Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has issued a stark warning to U.S. President Donald Trump, invoking the threat of World War III following Trump’s criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The warning came after Trump stated he would ‘absolutely’ consider new sanctions against Moscow, amid continued missile and drone attacks in Ukraine that have left many dead. In a post on X, Medvedev wrote: ‘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!’ https://twitter.com/MedvedevRussiaE/status/1927427723028238477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1927427723028238477%7Ctwgr%5E32aebd3cce7545eb5dc9f347ba0d1e28c1dbcc5e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2025%2F5%2Frussia-threatens-trump-with-world-war-3-after-the-us-president-criticised-putin.html Dmitry Medvedev Medvedev served as Russia’s president from 2008 to 2012 and as prime minister from 2012 to 2020.
