On Monday 28 July, Medvedev claimed that Trump was “playing the ultimatum game with Russia”. He added that “each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war”, not with Ukraine, but with “his own country”.
In response, Graham addressed “those in Russia who believe that President Trump is not serious about ending the bloodbath between Russia and Ukraine”.
“You and your customers will soon be sadly mistaken. You will also soon see that Joe Biden is no longer president. Get to the peace table,” he wrote.
The mention of former US President Biden came as Medvedev had earlier urged Americans not to “go down the Sleepy Joe road” – a nickname political opponents often use to refer to Biden.
Under Graham’s post, Medvedev replied that neither the senator nor Trump could dictate when Russia would negotiate.
“Negotiations will end when all the objectives of our military operation have been achieved. Work on America first, gramps!” he wrote.
To those in Russia who believe that President Trump is not serious about ending the bloodbath between Russia and Ukraine:
You and your customers will soon be sadly mistaken. You will also soon see that Joe Biden is no longer president.
Get to the peace table. https://t.co/IRWk9I0Ljf
