The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that the only real threat the world should worry about is World War III, Reuters and TASS reported. Medvedev's reaction came after US President Donald Trump criticized Russian leader Vladimir Putin, BTA reported.
"Regarding Trump's words that Putin "is "playing with fire" and that "really bad things" could happen to Russia — I only know one really bad thing — World War III. I hope Trump understands," Medvedev wrote on the social network "Ex".
Earlier, Trump warned Vladimir Putin that he was "playing with fire", attacking his Russian counterpart for stalling efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
"What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, a lot of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean really bad. "He's playing with fire!", Trump wrote on the social network "Truth Social".
