**US Scolds Russia for Stoking WWIII Fears**
The United States has rebuked Russia for fueling fears of a global catastrophe, World War III. This comes after US President Donald Trump warned Russian leader Vladimir Putin that he was “playing with fire” over Ukraine.
Trump’s warning came in a post on his Truth Social platform. He claimed that if it wasn’t for him, Russia would have faced serious consequences already. However, top Russian official Dmitry Medvedev dismissed this claim and responded by saying that one potential “REALLY BAD” thing was indeed the outbreak of World War III.
**Russian Official’s Blunt Response**
Medvedev’s response was direct and pointed. He used English to write on social media platform X: “I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII.” This reaction has drawn criticism from US envoy Keith Kellogg, who called it an “unfortunate” and “reckless comment.”
Kellogg also pointed out that Medvedev’s statement was not fitting for a world power. The US envoy emphasized the need for Russia to cease hostilities in Ukraine and work towards a peaceful resolution.
**US Demands Action**
The US has demanded that Russia take immediate action to stop the war in Ukraine. This includes receiving a Memorandum (Term Sheet) from Russia, which was promised a week ago. Kellogg urged Putin to put an end to the killing and violence in Ukraine.
As tensions continue to rise between the United States and Russia, it remains to be seen how this conflict will unfold. One thing is clear: the world is watching with bated breath as these two powerful nations navigate this complex situation.
