He cut his 50-day deadline for action to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/07\/28\/trump-says-hes-shortening-50-day-deadline-for-russia-to-end-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/07\/28\/trump-says-hes-shortening-50-day-deadline-for-russia-to-end-war\/\">10 days<\/a>, with that window set to expire next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The post about the sub repositioning came after Trump, in the wee hours of Thursday morning, had posted that Medvedev was a \u201cfailed former President of Russia\u201d and warned him to \u201cwatch his words.\u201d Medvedev responded hours later by writing, \u201cRussia is right on everything and will continue to go its own way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medvedev was president from 2008 to 2012 while Putin was barred from seeking a second consecutive term but stepped aside to let him run again. Now deputy chairman of Russia\u2019s National Security Council, which Putin chairs, Medvedev has been known for his provocative and inflammatory statements since the start of the war in 2022, a U-turn from his presidency, when he was seen as liberal and progressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has frequently wielded nuclear threats and lobbed insults at Western leaders on social media. Some observers have argued that with his extravagant rhetoric, Medvedev is seeking to score political points with Putin and Russian military hawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump and Medvedev have gotten into online spats before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 15, after Trump announced plans to supply Ukraine with more weapons via its NATO allies and threatened additional tariffs against Moscow, Medvedev posted, \u201cTrump issued a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. Belligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, he wrote, \u201cTrump\u2019s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10\u2033 and added, \u201cHe should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn\u2019t Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writer Dasha Litvinova in Tallinn, Estonia, contributed to this
