Russia's foreign ministry commented on a recent confrontation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted Trump's "restraint" during their argument at the White House. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized Zelensky, calling him an "insolent pig" and claimed he was properly reprimanded. Kirill Dmitriev, a Russian official, described the exchange as "historic." This incident follows recent Russian-American talks in Saudi Arabia, marking the first discussions since Russia's military actions in Ukraine began in 2022.
