The official said Moscow understands that the White House leader is not fully informed about all the facts of the hostilities between Moscow and Kiev, including the increasing number of massive terrorist attacks by Ukrainian forces against peaceful cities in Russia.

In comments to journalist Pavel Zarubin, the adviser noted that the US president “has already said many things; we, of course, read everything and monitor it, so to speak,” he said.

Similarly, Russian Security Council Vice Chairman Dmitry Medvedev also replied to the US head of state, who recently claimed that if it weren’t for him (Trump), “many really bad things would have happened to Russia by now.”

“Regarding Trump’s words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and that ‘if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia,’ I only know one really bad thing: World War III. I hope Trump understands this,” Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

Following the White House resident’s remarks, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce sought to clarify the situation by stating that the US president’s words about Russia should not be interpreted as frustration.

While Washington tries to discredit Moscow’s position, Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian civilian facilities in recent days.

The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that over the past week, the Russian air defense system “destroyed and intercepted more than 2,330 drone attacks, 1,465 of them outside the special military operation zone.”
