Many of the reports by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the informational warfare conducted by the Russian Federation.
Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that if he wins the election, he will stop the war in Ukraine and can do so even "within 24 hours." In an interview with the American publication "The Wall Street Journal," Trump stated that he even warned Putin against starting the war. "Vladimir, if you attack Ukraine, I will hit you so hard that you won't even believe it. I will hit you right in the middle of damn Moscow. We are friends. I don't want to do it, but I have no choice," Trump reportedly said.
However, Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, doubts Trump's abilities. The former president of Russia does not believe that the Republican candidate can end the war in Ukraine "in one day, three days, or three months."
"If he tries, he might become the new JFK" - Medvedev wrote.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, who was assassinated on the 22nd of November, 1963, in downtown Dallas.
Medvedev has previously threatened Trump
Medvedev previously commented on Trump's statement regarding his conversation with Putin. "Trump got carried away. Did he really talk about 'hitting damn Moscow?' Of course not," he wrote on his social media.
The former Kremlin leader stated that Trump merely pretends to be a tough negotiator. "Generally, he is as smooth as silk in negotiations," he stated. "To such words, there is only one response: Your damn Washington will get hit too. Overall, our relations with him are quite warm," he concluded.
Putin himself also spoke on the matter. He stated that "he does not remember" such a conversation and emphasised that "there is no point in threatening Russia, as it only invigorates it."
