Putin Ally Makes Nuclear Threat After Donald Trump Hints US Could Give Ukraine Tomahawk Missiles

Russian President Vladimir Putin holds a news conference after the summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, Friday, Oct. 10, 2025. (Vladimir Smirnov, Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP)A key ally of Vladimir Putin appeared to warn that Donald Trump could trigger a nuclear war if he gives Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles.Former Russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev spoke out after the US president said he could be prepared to provide Kyiv with the means to launch strikes deep into enemy territory.“I might tell [Putin], if the war is not settled, we may very well do it,” Trump said on Sunday. “We may not, but we may do it ... do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don’t think so.”In a post on Telegram, Medvedev, a noted Russian hawk, said it is impossible to distinguish between Tomahawk missiles carrying nuclear warheads and conventional ones after they are launched.“How should Russia respond? Exactly!” he said, hinting that Moscow could launch nuclear weapons in response.He added: “One can only hope that [Trump’s words are] another empty threat ... like sending nuclear submarines closer to Russia.”That was a reference to a threat Trump made in August in response to “highly provocative statements” by Medvedev.The US president said: “Tell Medvedev, the failed former Russian president who thinks he is still in power, to be careful what he says. He is entering very dangerous territory.”Hours later, he posted: “Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev ... I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.”Related...Just 1 Move From Trump Could Force Putin To Sober Up , Ukraine s President ClaimsTrump Blasts Russia And Says Ukraine Can Win The War In Astonishing U-TurnPutin Quietly Looking To Change Conscription Rules To Boost Depleted Russian Army, UK Says
