“Failed to outplay Trump”: Russia’s Medvedev comments on U.S.-Ukraine-Europe talks

Writing on X, Medvedev claimed that “the anti-Russian warmongering Coalition of the Willing failed to outplay President Trump on his turf,” and said European countries showed support for the U.S. leader during the meeting.

“Europe thanked & sucked up to him. The question is which tune the Kiev clown will play about guarantees & territories back home, once he’s put on his green military uniform again,” Medvedev wrote.

• On August 18, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House, where he was welcomed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The two leaders held bilateral talks in the Oval Office before meeting with European heads of state and NATO Secretary General.
• Following the discussions, Trump said he had started preparations for a possible meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
