Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has again threatened US President Donald Trump over his readiness to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, Russian media report.

Dmitry Medvedev believes that the threats to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine are the same kind of bluff by Trump as the American submarines near Russia's borders. But everything could end very badly.

Not Medvedev's first threats

In July of this year, Trump revised his previous ultimatum to the Kremlin regarding a peace agreement with Ukraine. The US president shortened the given deadline from 50 to 10 days, until August 8. At that time, the Kremlin responded that it was continuing the so-called special military operation, and Medvedev called Trump's demand "a step towards war" between Russia and the United States.

In response, Trump advised Medvedev to watch his words, adding that he was "entering very dangerous territory." Medvedev then published a post urging the American president to recall "his favorite movies about The Walking Dead," as well as the dangers posed by the non-existent Dead Hand.

Trump, in turn, responded to Medvedev's nuclear threats by ordering the deployment of two nuclear submarines "in the appropriate regions."
