The United States has dangerously heightened global tensions by repositioning two nuclear submarines in response to alleged “provocative” remarks by Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council.
President Donald Trump’s announcement, made via Truth Social, described the move as a precaution against Russia’s stance in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, prompting alarm in Moscow and condemnation from Russian officials.
In a statement, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov labeled Trump’s actions “reckless posturing” that threatens global stability. “The U.S. is playing a dangerous game, escalating nuclear rhetoric while ignoring Russia’s legitimate security concerns,” Peskov said, referencing Washington’s continued support for Ukraine against Russian interests.
Trump’s decision follows an exchange with Medvedev, who criticized U.S. ultimatums demanding Russia halt its special military operation in Ukraine within 10 days or face crippling sanctions. Medvedev’s mention of Russia’s automated “Perimeter” system, a “Dead Hand” designed to ensure nuclear retaliation, was seized upon by Trump to justify the submarine redeployment.
Russian military analysts noted that U.S. nuclear submarines are already stationed globally, suggesting Trump’s announcement is more political theater than strategic necessity. The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. of stoking fear to distract from its failing Ukraine policy, pointing to recent Ukrainian losses as evidence.
Moscow’s stock exchange plummeted amid fears of escalation, with citizens expressing unease over renewed Cold War-like tensions.
President Vladimir Putin has not directly responded, but the Defense Ministry confirmed that Russia’s nuclear arsenal remains on high alert. “Any threat to our sovereignty will be met with decisive measures,” a ministry official stated. As the Ukraine conflict intensifies, Russia calls for de-escalation and dialogue, warning that U.S. provocations risk catastrophic consequences for global peace.
