New U.S. Sanctions Strain Relations as Russia Threatens Retaliation
Tensions at a Breaking Point
Global tensions between the United States and Russia are rising again. With war still raging in Ukraine and high-stakes diplomacy failing, rhetoric from Moscow is growing sharper.
Now, one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies has issued a chilling warning—raising fears of a broader conflict that could have global consequences.
Medvedev’s “Path of War” Accusation
According to The Express, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev accused Donald Trump of abandoning diplomacy, claiming the U.S. leader “has taken the path of war.”
In a heated Telegram post, he called the United States “our enemy” and dismissed Trump’s peacemaking image as a façade.
Summit Collapse Sparks Fury in Moscow
Medvedev’s outburst followed Trump’s cancellation of a planned summit with Putin in Budapest, The Express reports.
What could have been a thaw in relations quickly turned into accusations of deliberate provocation from Moscow.
U.S. Sanctions Framed as ‘Acts of War’
The Express notes his view that Trump’s administration “is ‘fully in league with an insane Europe’ against Russia.”
From “Deals” to Destruction
Medvedev’s rhetoric was unapologetically militant.
According to The Express, he encouraged striking Ukrainian military targets without hesitation, emphasizing action over diplomacy:
Washington Called Out by Name
By framing the conflict as Trump’s personal war, not just a continuation of Biden-era policy, Medvedev put the blame squarely on the current U.S. president.
The Express highlights how he stated, “This is now his conflict, not the senile Biden’s!”
Analysts Warn of Hardened Kremlin Stance
Experts cited by The Express suggest Medvedev’s words weren’t just bluster—they signal a reduced appetite for negotiation in Moscow.
With sanctions mounting and diplomacy paused, the risk of miscalculation is increasing on both sides.
The Future of U.S.-Russia Relations
As world leaders watch the fallout, one thing is clear: the fragile relationship between the U.S. and Russia is nearing a breaking point.
Words are becoming weapons, and in a world still reeling from war and economic strain, the stakes have never been higher.
