President Donald Trump announced plans to relocate two nuclear submarines on Friday as he and the former Russian president touted an increase in pressure on Moscow to end the war with Ukraine.
After Trump announced a new deadline for Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine in early August, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said Monday that the announcement was an additional “step towards war.”
“Based on the highly provocative statements of the former Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, now vice-chairman of the Russian Federation’s Security Council, has ordered two nuclear submarines to be placed in the right area in case these stupid, inflammatory statements are merely more than that.”
Medvedev warns Trump’s new deadline to end the Russian-Ukraine conflict is “a step towards war.”

The announcement comes weeks after Trump praised the contributions of guided missile submarines involved in the strike against Iran, and has launched two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at Iran’s main target, officials said.
“By the way, if you think ‘hardware’ is great over the weekend, then the strongest and best equipment we have, the 20-year-old nuclear submarine, is our nuclear submarine,” Trump said in the Truth Social Post on June 23. “They are the most powerful and deadly weapons ever built, and they just launched the 30 Tomahawks. All 30 have made the mark perfectly. So, in addition to our great combat pilots, we thank the captain and crew!”
Missions targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, also involved more than 125 US aircraft, including B-2 stealth bombers, according to the chairman of Prime Minister Dan Kane.
Trump attacks Iran’s nuclear site: Are our troops at risk from retaliatory strikes?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegses and Chairman Dan Kane will hold a joint press conference on June 26, 2025 at the Pentagon Press Briefing Room in Washington.
Kane did not reveal the names of the submarines involved in the Iranian strike. However, he said that a “guided missile submarine” was involved.
Four of the US Navy’s Ohio-class submarines have been converted to guided missile submarines to accommodate traditional land attacks and special operations force platforms. According to the US Navy, these submarines are in Ohio, Florida, Michigan and Georgia.
All US Navy submarines are nuclear-mounted, and Trump did not disclose any additional details surrounding the submarines being relocated amid rising tensions with Russia. Given the highly classified nature of deployment and movement, it is very rare for defense personnel to comment or reveal the location of submarines.
Trump initially announced on July 14 that he would sign off for “serious tariffs” on Russia if Moscow fails to agree to the peace agreement within 50 days. But Trump said Monday that waiting periods would be pointless as negotiations continue to drag on for months.
“From today we plan to have a new deadline from around 10-12,” Trump told reporters in Scotland on Monday. “There’s no reason to wait. It was 50 days. I wanted to be generous, but I don’t think progress is right.”

In response, Medvedev, now vice-chairman of Russia’s Security Council, accused Trump of playing the “ultimate game.”
“Trump is playing an ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… he should remember two things: 1. Russia is not Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimate is a threat, a step into war.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, a new deadline for Trump has emerged amidst the stagnation of progress towards peace between Russia and Ukraine, and growing dissatisfaction with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
