Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned Donald Trump of another World War breaking out after the US President said Vladimir Putin was "playing with fire" by refusing to engage in peace talks with Ukraine.
In a stark warning to Trump, who has been projecting himself as a global peace messiah, Medvedev tweeted, "Regarding Trump's words about Putin 'playing with fire' and 'really bad things' happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing - WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!"
The fresh exchange between the Cold War adversaries came amid Trump's growing frustration with Putin as Russia continued with its strikes on Ukraine, thumbing its nose at the US President's repeated calls to engage in ceasefire talks.
In his latest broadside, Trump accused Putin of "playing with fire" while emphasising that "really bad things would have already happened in Russia" without his intervention.
"What Vladimir Putin doesn't realise is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He's playing with fire!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday.
