The Kremlin responded unfavorably to Donald Trump’s remarks suggesting that Ukraine could reclaim occupied territories, labeling Russia as a “paper tiger,” and pointing out alleged economic instability.
Russia rebutted Trump’s statements, emphasizing that their invasion was purposeful and not aimless. The statement also highlighted the slow progress in restoring relations with Washington.
Trump expressed that Ukraine, with EU support, could potentially regain all lost territory. However, Russia dismissed Trump’s characterization of them as a “paper tiger” and refuted claims of economic instability.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, criticized Russia’s military actions and economic status. He also advocated for NATO to intercept Russian planes entering allied airspace.
The fallout escalated as one of Vladimir Putin’s advisors, Sergei Karaganov, suggested considering the use of nuclear weapons in Europe to prevent a larger conflict between the US and Russia.
Karaganov stressed that while the use of nuclear weapons would be a grave sin, not using them and risking a major war would be even worse.
