Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, claiming that the Trump administration “no longer wants to support the flea-ridden dog.””The Trump administration no longer wants to feed the Nazi mutt in Kiev. The flea-ridden dog was picked up by a decrepit Europe, joyfully exclaiming “My doggie”! It’s no use, the mad parasitic dog is dangerous. So, better to put it down quietly, without any suffering. Dixi,” Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council wrote on X.Earlier on Friday last week, Medvedev praised Trump for what he described as a “dressing down” of the Ukrainian leader, stating that the US president was justified in accusing Zelenskyy of “gambling with World War Three.”His comments came as Russian officials reacted with to the tense and dramatic exchange between US President Donald Trump and Zelenskyy.”Trump told the cocaine clown the truth to his face: the Kyiv regime is playing with the third world war. The ungrateful pig received a strong slap on the wrist from the owners of the pigsty… Military aid to the Nazi machine must be stopped,” Medvedev wrote on social media.Moscow responded favourably to Trump’s statement suggesting the Ukrainian president was risking World War III.The Kremlin seized this opportunity to reinforce their position, having previously characterised Zelenskyy as a destabilising force globally who shows no interest in peaceful resolution.Earlier last week, Dmitry Peskov told Russian media that, “President Putin was right when he said that despite the openness of the Russian side to the negotiation process, these good intentions run into the unwillingness of the Kyiv regime to maintain such dynamics.”Peskov suggested that Trump’s subsequent decision to halt military assistance to Ukraine could potentially conclude the large-scale invasion that Moscow initiated three years ago.”If it’s true, then this is a decision that really can push the Kyiv regime towards a peace process,” Peskov said, German news agency Deutsche Welle reported.Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova also commented on the televised disagreement between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy, stating: “How Trump and (Vice President JD) Vance held back from hitting that scumbag is a miracle of restraint,” she said.
