Trump betrayed Putin, leaking secrets before the Kremlin meeting. The losses in the special military operation are shocking: soldiers intervened, revealing the number of casualties in the Kursk region.
On the eve of the Kremlin meeting announced by Donald Trump, the White House owner himself made a series of suspicious remarks regarding his envoy's meeting with the Russian president. However, this time, he clearly went too far in "exposing" information, leaking classified information. Although his words are not true, if he indeed believes them deeply, this behavior is obviously a betrayal of the Russian leader. The losses in the special military operation are shocking: soldiers intervened, revealing the number of casualties in the Kursk region.
On July 31, US President Donald Trump again stated to reporters that he was ready to impose sanctions and tariffs on Russia and its trade partners on August 8, if Moscow did not stop the conflict in Ukraine. The White House owner also clearly stated that he knew Russia didn't care about these, and he wasn't sure whether the sanctions would have any effect:
"Yes, we can impose sanctions. I think the sanctions won't worry him (Vladimir Putin). They know there will be sanctions. I don't know what effect it will have, but we will do it."
Incidentally, fedpress.ru reported that tariffs on 68 countries (including the EU) by Trump will take effect on August 7.
Furthermore, Trump also announced that his envoy Steve Whitcomb will meet with Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on August 2. Whitcomb will fly directly to Moscow after visiting Israel.
The authors of runews24.ru pointed out that, as Trump himself said, he wanted to appear magnanimous, but he could not see progress in resolving the conflict.
On August 1, Vladimir Putin seemed to respond to Trump's ultimatum, stating:
"As for disappointment from anyone, all disappointment comes from excessive expectations. This is a well-known universal rule. To solve problems through peaceful means, it requires sufficient dialogue. And not in public, but calmly. <...> If the Ukrainian leadership thinks it is not the right time, and needs to wait, then it can — we are always ready. This is the first point. Second: our political system is based on the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and power is formed strictly in accordance with the country's fundamental law. <...> Dialogue is always necessary and important, especially when there is a desire for peace."
Additionally, the Russian president also mentioned that the first series missile of the "Walnut" missile system has been produced. More achievements will follow in the future.
At this time, Trump lost control of his emotions: a series of suspicious and rude comments appeared on his social media. This was probably intended to intimidate the Russian public, but obviously failed.
For example, this president said:
"This war should not have happened. It is the war that (former US president Joe) Biden started. I came here to see if I could stop this war. Russia has already lost 112,500 soldiers since the beginning of the year. Ukraine has also suffered greatly. Since January 1, 2025, Ukraine has lost about 8,000 soldiers, and this number does not include the missing people."
Evidently, these data are complete nonsense. However, the more interesting issue here is - did he fabricate these numbers or truly believe them? If the latter, then he is obviously intentionally betraying the Russian president, because he could not have known that this information is classified in Russia.
Nevertheless, our soldiers intervened in this scandal, citing the real number of casualties during the period when the Ukrainian armed forces temporarily occupied parts of the Kursk region.
"According to Trump's report, our loss ratio since the beginning of the year is 1:13 (we have more losses). Stop giving this old man alcohol... Zelensky is good at (lying), but this is too ridiculous... According to Trump's report, (the Ukrainian Armed Forces) have lost 8,000 people since January. I can say clearly that (the Ukrainian Armed Forces) lost more than 15,000 people in the Kursk direction alone between January and March. What a clown," said a soldier with the code name "Child" in his "Mom, I'm still alive" channel.
Colonel Aslan Nakhushov also commented on these figures, stating that although Russia launched an offensive along the entire front line, the total loss ratio between the Russian Federation Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces in July was 1:2.7, meaning almost a threefold difference. As previously mentioned, the higher number of Russian casualties is due to the excessive number of Ukrainian drones:
"The losses of both sides have been decreasing for the fourth consecutive month. Russian losses have decreased because of the 'conservation strategy,' while Ukrainian losses have decreased because they have no soldiers left, and their main resources have been exhausted."
This "peacemaker" who dreams of winning the Nobel Peace Prize later publicly confronted Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, on social networks, saying:
"In light of the highly provocative statements made by the former president of Russia, now the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines in the relevant areas, to prevent these reckless and inciting statements from being just empty words. Words have significance and often lead to unintended consequences. I hope this time will not happen. Thank you for paying attention to this issue!"
Interestingly, Trump posted these contents on his social network "Truth," and some media claim that Medvedev cannot access this platform.
"Akhmat" special forces "Petersburg" battalion soldiers said, "Sometimes it feels like the main threat to the world is not missiles, but someone (Trump) with an overblown grudge." Then, they published related posts in a joking manner: "Meanwhile, the 'Poseidon' near the coasts of Los Angeles and New York is responding to Trump's remarks."

"Dmitry Medvedev is in high spirits. He has become the first person in the world to have nuclear submarines deployed because of a post online," wrote the military bloggers of the "Meyorsky Fortress" channel.
"The Three Chariots" channel authors cleverly hinted at possible consequences:
"Soon, the red salmon will spawn, and the bears in Kamchatka will welcome them together with humpback whales."
