Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, stated, "The Third World War has not yet begun, but if Trump continues his crazy course (of regime change policies), it will definitely start. Any event could be a trigger."
Russia's Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev used harsh words against U.S. President Donald Trump. Medvedev argued that if Trump's policies continue, a global war could be inevitable.
In a statement to TASS on March 2, 2026, Medvedev said, "World War III has not yet started, but if Trump continues his crazy course (guilty regime change policy), it will definitely start. Any event could be a trigger."
"CRITICISM OF THE 'REGIME CHANGE POLICY'"
Medvedev described the "regime change" approach that he claimed the Trump administration was pursuing as dangerous for global stability. The Russian official argued that the current geopolitical tensions are progressing on a fragile balance and that even a small development could trigger a large-scale conflict.
TENSIONS ESCALATE
The statement, made during a period of intensified rhetoric between the U.S. and Russia, was interpreted as a new escalation in the diplomatic tension between the two countries. Medvedev's words resonated widely in the international community during a time of increasing concerns about the global security architecture.
