Russian Officials Smugly Dismiss Trump's 'Theatrical Ultimatum' on Ukraine Ceasefire Deal
Share this @internewscast.com

“Russia didn’t care.”

These were the remarks of Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council and former President of Russia, in reaction to President Donald Trump’s 50-day ultimatum demanding that Russia agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine, or else face “very severe” consequences.

Although Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet addressed Trump’s ultimatum, Medvedev and other officials from the Kremlin have dismissed the warning, according to the Moscow Times. Medvedev’s message on X stood out as particularly defiant:

Trump delivered an emphatic ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world held its breath, bracing for the repercussions. Aggressive Europe was let down. Russia was indifferent.

The question is whether the actual theatrics — those coming from the Kremlin in response to Trump — were meaningful, or principally meant for public consumption as part of an “Oh, yeah, who cares?” face-saving attempt to fire back at the president’s blunt warning.

As RedState reported on Monday, Trump told reporters on Sunday he’s “very disappointed” with Putin, adding: 

I thought he was somebody that meant what he said — and he’ll talk so beautifully, then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.

Also on Monday, during a White House meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump said in reference to his ultimatum:

We are very, very unhappy with [Russia], and we’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days.

Game on?
