Medvedev lashed out with threats against Zelenskyy and the US

As is known, Zelenskyy said in an interview with Axios that he has "clear support" from US President Donald Trump regarding strikes on Russian targets, including energy infrastructure and enterprises that produce weapons.
He also hinted that "centers of Russian power, such as the Kremlin, are important at the negotiating table."
"They need to know where the bomb shelters are. They need it. If they don't stop the war, they will need it anyway. They need to know that we in Ukraine will respond every day. If they attack us, we will respond to them," Zelenskyy said.
