Russia has refused to confirm whether Donald Trump threatened to bomb Moscow during a conversation with Vladimir Putin, as a gulf continues to widen between the two countries amid the Kremlin's unwillingness to engage in peace talks. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov addressed the allegations that Trump said he would "bomb the s**t out of Moscow" if Putin invaded Ukraine during a phone call with the Russian leader before the illegal invasion in 2022. Peskov said he "couldn't confirm" the rumour, which the US President is thought to have shared with political donors at a fundraiser in 2024.
It comes after Trump announced that the US will send more weapons to Ukraine, just days after ordering a pause in the delivery of air defence missiles and artillery to the war-torn country. The move to pause weapon shipments took Ukrainian officials by surprise, but the White House said it was part of a wider evaluation of military shipments worldwide as part of the country's "America First" stance towards defence. America will now send 10 Patriot missiles to Ukraine, according to reports from The Guardian, after Trump told a cabinet meeting: "We get a lot of bull***t thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless."
Russia pledges to fix 'broken' relationship with US
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said Moscow is "calm" about Donald Trump's criticism of Vladimir Putin's "bullsh*t".
Speaking during a press call this morning, Peskov added: "We expect to continue our dialogue with Washington and our line on repairing the rather broken bilateral relations.
"We also heard a very important statement by Trump that the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict turned out to be much more difficult than he thought from the very beginning."
It comes after Trump confirmed that he had approved sending US weapons to Ukraine following a pause on supply last week.
He also hold reporters on Tuesday that he was considering imposing additional sanctions on Moscow, after admitting that he is "not happy" with Putin.
