Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, has voiced the risk of a possible nuclear war. Medvedev responded in this way to US President Donald Trump's statement that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine could cause him serious trouble by the United States.

"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!" Medvedev wrote on X.
