After US President Trump confirmed moving two nuclear submarines near Russian waters, Russian Duma official Viktor Vodolatsky dismissed it as "political theater," stating that Russia has "significantly more" submarines and that Trump's "two boats" have "been in our sights for a long time." He emphasized Trump's instability and called for diplomacy. Trump's move followed "highly provocative" remarks from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who referenced the Cold War-era "Dead Hand" nuclear retaliation system on Telegram, mocking Trump's ultimatum strategy and warning of a direct war with the US, not just Ukraine.

'Have Enough Nukes': Russian Lawmaker On Trump's Nuclear Submarine Move
Last Updated: Russian lawmaker Viktor Vodolatsky claimed Russian nuclear subs outnumber American ones and they are monitoring US subs redeployed by Trump. Russia responded to Trump's move of deploying US nucleur submarines to 'appropriate regions', a member of the Russian Parliament Duma said there are enough Russian nuclear submarines in the high seas to tackle two American subs. 'The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones, and the subs that US President Donald Trump ordered to be redirected to the appropriate regions have long been under their control. So no response from the Russian Federation to the American leader's statement about the submarines is required," a senior Russian lawmaker, Viktor Vodolatsky, was quoted as saying by TASS. Earlier on Friday, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that he had ordered the redeployment of US submarines 'to appropriate regions" allegedly over 'extremely provocative statements" by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is also the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council. 'Let the two US subs sail, they have been in the crosshairs for a long time now," the Russian lawmaker said. 'A fundamental agreement that must be concluded between Russia and America so that the whole world calms down and stops talking about the beginning of World War III," he added. 'Trump, as we know, runs his own channel and reacts, so to speak, emotionally, humanly and spontaneously. I think that the armed forces, the naval forces of the United States read this with great surprise. If this exchange of opinions continues, and Trump continues to be drawn into it, then, one way or another, he will probably have to take some action. In my opinion, so far this is only at the level of words," Lukyanov told local private news channel RBC TV. Following the American leader's statements, the Moscow Exchange index plummeted 2,709.26 points (0.99%) by 08:01 pm Moscow time (10:31 pm IST) on Friday. Earlier, responding to a media question over US State Department Secretary Marco Rubio's recent interview with Fox News, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia agrees with the US administration that a direct military confrontation between Moscow and Washington must not happen. 'While Europeans are hysterically pushing for Ukraine's integration into NATO and preparing for potential conflict with Russia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently reaffirmed a responsible stance, explicitly stating that a direct military confrontation between the United States and Russia must be avoided. We wholeheartedly concur with this position. Such shared understanding has been facilitated through constructive Russian-American dialogue," Lavrov said. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 09:06 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
