Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggested the only important players in the peace talks over the war in Ukraine are Russia and the US. The Deputy Chair of the Russian Security Council reacted to the 90-minute long phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday afternoon, during which a 30-day pause to attacks on infrastructure and energy plants in Ukraine was agreed.
Taking to X, he claimed: “The phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump proved a well-known idea – there is only Russia and America in the dining room.” Mr Medvedev, who was president of Russia between 2008 and 2012 and is a staunch supporter of Putin, went on to taunt the European Union, Britain and France. In a thinly-veiled threat, he added: “On the menu: light appetisers – Brussels sprouts, British fish and chips and Paris rooster. The main course is a Kiev-style cutlet. Enjoy your meal!”
