On the other hand, while canceling the meeting with the chief, while adding sanctions on Russian oil companies, the Trump administration followed up on Russia. For the US actions, Russian Federal Security Council Vice-President Medvedev on the social media "telegram" on October 23, the United States has become Russia's enemy, the US President Trump has officially embarked on the road to war against Russia.
Reuters reported that Trump once called Russia a "paper tiger" and announced on the 22nd that he would cancel the US-Russia summit scheduled to be held in Budapest, Hungary. At the same time, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies.
“Trump cancelled the Budapest summit.The United States has imposed a new round of sanctions on us.” – Medvedev wrote on social media, “What else?
“If there is anyone with fantasies, then wake up now: the United States is our enemy, and the ‘peacemaker’ they boast of is now officially on the way to war with Russia.”
"Yes, he hasn't always been actively fighting on the side of Nazi-controlled Kiev, but now this is his conflict, not Biden's old stupid farce!"
"Of course, there will definitely be people who say that he has no choice, that Congress has put pressure on him and so on. But this can't change the core fact: these decisions he made are acts of war against Russia. And now Trump is completely in collusion with crazy Europe."
Medvedev said, "However, Trump's swing again also has an obvious advantage: we can use all kinds of weapons to slam all Nazi strongholds without scruples, and we don't need to pay attention to those redundant negotiations."
“We are to win in the only place where victory is possible, in the battlefield, not at the negotiating table; by destroying the enemy, not by making meaningless ‘deals.’”
Trump on Monday confirmed that he had cancelled plans for the recent meeting of the US-Russian leaders, because he felt the timing was not right, the current meeting "cannot reach the goal", and he will meet with Putin "at some point in the future".
Ukraine has always hoped to obtain Tomahawk missiles from the United States. Russia has repeatedly warned that if the United States provides Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, it will aggravate the escalation of the situation. Trump said he would not teach other countries how to operate the Tomahawk missile.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Luk Petrol and Russian Petroleum, and their subsidiaries. Trump said, “It’s time, we’ve waited a long time,” hoping the sanctions won’t last too long and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict can settle.
Regarding the latest U.S. sanctions, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova said at a press conference that this will not bring trouble to Russia, and Russia already has "strong immunity" to such restrictions.
“We think this move will have an extremely opposite effect,” Zakharova said, adding that the U.S. move is not conducive to sending the signal of a negotiated settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
She also said that there are no major obstacles to the agreement of the US-Russian leader on the framework for the solution of the Ukrainian issue discussed by the two sides.
In response to the reasons for the new sanctions against Russia and Trump's cancellation of the first meeting between Russia and the United States, US Secretary of State rubio told reporters on the 22nd: "We still hope to meet with Russia."
