Russia's Medvedev Describes Europe as an Ugly, Jealous Lover With No Prospects
Comparison came after Trump call with Putin
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s National Security Council, mocked Europe over its insignificance after U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a 90-minute phone call about the future of the Ukraine War and a possible settlement.
The phone call was made as Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News weekend host and current Defense Department head, said NATO membership will not be in the cards for Kyiv.
Medvedev has described European countries as desperate hangers-on throughout the three-year war, and painted Europe as a jealous lover with few prospects.
“Frigid spinster Europe is mad with jealousy and rage,” he posted on X. “It wasn’t warned of the Putin-Trump call or consulted about its content or later statements. It shows its real role in the world and chances of snagging a husband. No wonder. Europe’s time is over. It’s weak, ugly and useless.”

The Associated Press reported that European officials have criticized the Trump administration for taking these steps without their input.
One example was Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius who said, “For me, it’s clear … that Europe must be involved in the negotiations — and I think that’s very easy to understand.”
Axios noted that Trump was in contact with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a day after his call with Putin and informed the Ukrainian leader that they both “agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately.”
TRENDPOST: Trump told reporters that he believes Ukraine needs to make peace because they are losing on the battlefield. He said it was not a good war for Kyiv to even engage in, which The Trends Journal had forecast since before the first Russian tank rolled in.
