A top Russia national security official issued a dire warning regarding President Donald Trump's most recent comments claiming Vladimir Putin is 'playing with fire.'
Deputy Chair of Russia's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that if 'really bad things' were to happen to Russia, it would lead to the third World War.
Trump posted to Truth Social on Tuesday: 'What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize 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!'
It came after Trump grew more frustrated with the Russian president over the weekend after Moscow spent the last few days showering Ukraine with missile and drone strikes.
'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,' Medvedev wrote to X.
