Russia demands Trump 'assassinate' Zelensky as WW3 fears explode

 The Kremlin today made a sinister call for Donald Trump to order the assassination of Volodymyr Zelensky.

Close Putin crony Dmitry Medvedev told the US president: "American history itself offers a solution.

"All he has to do is summon the secretary of war and the CIA director and tell them to take care of this 'unfortunate little problem.'

"After all, the man does far more damage to Trump's real interests than all the fallout from Trump's imaginary grievances against Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran combined.

"The how, where, and by what means are irrelevant."

Medvedev is a former Russian president and prime minister, who is currently Putin's number-two on the Kremlin's security council.

His sick assassination call came as Russians separately accused Ukraine of using deadly British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles as well as drones to hit a major Putin defence plant in Yelets, Liptsek region, a key manufacturer of batteries and accumulators for Putin's missile systems, aviation, and other military equipment.

Thick black smoke was seen pouring from the plant after strikes by three or four missiles..

Medvedev sought to poison Zelensky in Trump's eyes, claiming he has a "major grudge" against the US president "and is being downright disrespectful to him at every turn."

The chilling rant and demand for a CIA hit squad may be seen as a sign of the Kremlin failing in its war with Ukraine.

Medvedev posted on pro-Kremlin social media Max: "So why, exactly, should the occupant of the Oval Office have any reason to like the twitchy little bloodsucker?"

He "pestered Trump like a fat green fly, rudely demanding money and weapons to keep the war against Russia going" and "manipulated" Western leaders "working day in and day out to turn them against Trump and his team."

He "repeatedly told Trump and his aides to get lost whenever they floated proposals for negotiating an end to the conflict" and "through his reckless behavior, brought the United States and NATO to the brink of a global nuclear confrontation with Russia."

Medvedev said that "in short, the Kiev scumbag regularly spits straight in the face of the US president, ignoring his demands and turning influential Americans [and not-so-influential Europeans] against him.

"To this festering green parasite, the president of the United States is a nobody.

 stop him and his entire Nazi gang from repeatedly fleecing the Americans for enormous sums of money.

"So much for 'he may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch.'"

The deadly strike allegedly with Storm Shadow missiles was on Energia defence plant, which makes chemical-based power sources for multiple Russian weapons including Iskander-M ballistic missiles.

Initial reports said that one person was killed and that early evacuation prevented more deaths.

It is the second successive day the Russians have accused Ukraine of deploying Storm Shadows.

On Saturday multiple reports said they were deployed against high-tech Proton defence factory in Oryol, which makes components for Russian weapons of death including the Iskander-M, Pantsir-S1 and S-71 Kover missiles.

Russia claimed four were killed, while other reports indicated a higher toll.

Both plants in Yelets and Oryol were sanctioned by Britain and other Western countries.

In separate attacks today long-range Ukrainian drone strikes hit key military-linked.
