Russian servicemen and ballistic missiles are bringing about Moscow’s victory in the special military operation, not US President Donald Trump’s words criticizing Vladimir Zelensky, Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev stated.

Earlier, Trump stated that Zelensky does not want to pursue a peaceful settlement in Ukraine for one reason or another. The US leader told reporters that Zelensky would have been better off striking a deal two years ago, as he would have found himself in a much more advantageous position.

“Those who got overly excited, just pull yourselves together. Only our ballistic missiles and our Geran drones are bringing us closer to victory,” the politician wrote in a statement on his Max page.
