The Kremlin noted that Moscow is also "carefully tracking" Trump's comments directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin against the backdrop of the Ukraine war.

Amid the ongoing exchange between President Donald Trump and Russian officials, the Kremlin on Sunday said Russia should “react calmly" to all US statements.

It further noted that Moscow is also “carefully tracking" Trump’s comments directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin against the backdrop of the Ukraine war.

“But any responses must be with Russia’s interests in mind and in the interest of repairing Russia-US relations," the Kremlin stated, as quoted by RT.

In recent days, Trump has posted on social media that Russian President Vladimir Putin has gone “absolutely CRAZY" and warned he was “playing with fire" by continuing attacks on Ukrainian cities.

Meanwhile, Moscow has responded cautiously, even as it carries out deadly strikes on Kyiv, warning Trump against an “emotional overload" and stating that the only truly bad outcome would be “WWIII."

Lawmakers from both parties have used this change in tone to urge Trump to back his words with tougher sanctions on Russia. However, experts say it’s still uncertain whether he will follow up his strong statements with concrete action.

“We’re going to find out whether he’s tapping us along or not. And if he is, we’ll respond a little bit differently. But it will take about a week and a half, two weeks," Trump told reporters on Wednesday, when asked whether he believed Putin wanted to end the war.

Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 after building up troops near the border for weeks. Since then, tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides have been killed in over three years of fighting.
