Russia urges caution in nuclear 'rhetoric' after Trump comments
MOSCOW: Russia urged caution on Monday (Aug 4) after US President Donald Trump said he would deploy two nuclear submarines following an online row with former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. Trump said he had ordered the deployment in response to what he alleged were highly provocative comments by Medvedev, saying the submarines would be positioned in "appropriate regions". Trump did not say whether he meant nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed submarines. He also did not elaborate on the locations, which are kept secret by the US military. "Russia is very attentive to the topic of nuclear non-proliferation. And we believe that everyone should be very, very cautious with nuclear rhetoric," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, including from AFP, on Monday. The row between Medvedev and Trump erupted against the backdrop of the US leader's ultimatum for Russia to end its military offensive in Ukraine or face fresh economic sanctions, including on its remaining trading partners. Medvedev - one of Russia's most prominent anti-Western hawks - accused Trump of "playing the ultimatum game" and said that Trump "should remember" that Russia was a formidable force. "Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country," he said. Medvedev, who has not posted on social media since the spat, is currently the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council. He served one term as president from 2008 to 2012, effectively acting as a placeholder for Putin, who was able to circumvent constitutional term limits and de facto remain in power. The chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday backed Trump's actions. "The concept of peace through strength works," Andriy Yermak wrote on social media.

Neuhaus returns to Gladbach training after four-week suspension
Borussia Moenchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus returned to training on Monday following his weeks-long suspension and publicly apologised about a video in which he had appeared to mock the Bundesliga club's sporting director. Neuhaus was fined and suspended for four weeks in early July. "I would like to take the opportunity of returning to my team to once again apologise to the club management and Borussia's fans for my behaviour, especially to (sports director) Roland Virkus," Neuhaus said in a statement. "We have had a personal and professional relationship for many years, characterised by appreciation, respect, and trust. I will do everything I can to rebuild this mutual trust." In a video posted on social media last month, Neuhaus could be seen talking to several people wearing Gladbach kits about Virkus. The 28-year-old former Germany international appeared to call Virkus "the worst manager in the world" and referenced the sporting director's role in deciding his salary of four million euros ($4.71 million) per year. Gladbach had imposed a "heavy" fine on Neuhaus, reportedly around 100,000 euros. "Flo already apologised in an internal meeting four weeks ago," Virkus said. "We acknowledge that he is now making this public. For us, the matter is closed, and we expect Flo to now offer his full qualities in training and do his part to help us achieve our goals." Neuhaus joined Gladbach in 2017 and has made over 200 appearances in all competitions for the club, but mainly featured as a substitute last season and played just 17 times in the league as they finished 10th.
