Dmitry Medvedev made the statement on Telegram.“Trump’s cancellation of the Budapest summit. New U.S. sanctions against our country. What else? Will there be new weapons besides the notorious Tomahawks? If any of the numerous commentators still had illusions — here’s your reality. The U.S. is our adversary, and their talkative ‘peacemaker’ has now fully taken the path of war with Russia,” said the Deputy Head of Russia’s Security Council.Medvedev added that Trump “has not always been actively fighting” on Kyiv’s side so far, “but now this is his conflict,” rather than that of former President Joe Biden.“They will, of course, say he had no choice, that he was pressured by Congress, etc. That doesn’t change the main point: the decisions made are an act of war against Russia. And now Trump has fully sided with crazy Europe,” Dmitry Medvedev added.He also said that, following the latest decisions by the American leader, there is even a “clear advantage”: it allows strikes on “Banderite” caches without regard for “unnecessary negotiations.”U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed hope that Russian leader Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "will become reasonable."On Wednesday, October 22, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, due to Moscow’s lack of readiness to end the war in Ukraine.
