CNN-A high-ranking consultant of the Kremlin has Donald Trump to be informed after the US President described the Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “player with the fire”.

reaction of the Kremlin to Trump’s statements

The consultant Yuri Ushakov, a former Russian ambassador to Washington and part of the negotiation team, which in Saudi Arabia met with US officials this year, reacted to Trump's contribution to Truth Social, in which the President wrote: “What Wladimir Putin does not realize is that without many really bad things in Russia, and I really mean Bad.

Ushakov's criticism of Trump

ushakov questioned the accuracy of the information that Trump receives. "Trump says many things. Of course we read and monitor all of this. But we have come to the conclusion that Trump is inadequate about what really happens in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation," said Ushakov in Russian state television Russia-1.

Russian attacks on civil goals

ushakov noted that Trump apparently is unsuspecting towards the “more and more massive terrorist attacks that Ukraine performs against peaceful Russian cities” and indicated that Trump only perceived the Russian attacks, with repeating Moscow false claim that the attacks “exclusively meet military-industrial complex”.

tragic consequences of the attacks

Last weekend at least 14 civilians, including three children from a family, died through Russian air strikes. The funeral of the three siblings-8-year-old Stanislav Martnyuk, his 12-year-old sister Tamara and the 17-year-old novel-took place on Wednesday in her hometown Korostyshiv in Central Ukraine. Hundreds of people, many in tears, filled the town square when their three white coffins were carried in.

Trump on the escalation of the conflict

After the attack that killed the children - Russia's largest air raid on Ukraine - Trump accused the Russian president of being “absolutely crazy”. "I always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin, but something happened with him. He has gotten absolutely crazy! He kills a lot of people, and it's not just about soldiers. Rakets and drones are shot out of the blue in cities in Ukraine," posted Trump on Trump.

Kremlin reacts to Trump's statements

The conflict between Trump and the Kremlin escalated on Tuesday when the former Russian President and Prime Minister as well as today's security officer Dmitry Medvedev reacted to Trump's threat and said: "I only know a really bad thing - the Third World War. I hope that Trump understands that!" Medvedev was once one of the most influential Russian officials, but has lost influence in recent years as an ever more marginalized politician and has become known primarily for his statements on social media.

reactions from the USA

Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, described Medvedev's comments as “Reckless” (lightly). "To stir up fears regarding a WW III is an unfortunate, reckless comment," he said to X and added that the United States continued to wait for a ceasefire.
