US President Donald Trump used a vulgar term to criticize Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's comments regarding Volodymyr Zelensky's "lack of legitimacy" in signing future peace treaties between Russia and Ukraine.
"Everybody's putting on a show," Trump said, responding to reporters' questions. "It's all nonsense."
Trump has been pushing Putin and Zelensky to meet for weeks to discuss a final peace deal to end the war, but Russia has repeatedly set up obstacles and insisted on additional concessions.
Despite the urgency from Trump and Zelensky, Lavrov has said he wants to see a "presidential agenda" agreed upon before Putin sits down face-to-face with Zelensky, forcing Ukraine to make a deal before they meet.
Some of these "agenda" items include Ukraine's withdrawal from NATO membership and repealing a Kiev law that says Russian can never be an official language, Lavrov said.
Trump has remained optimistic that the two warring parties will eventually meet, but has repeatedly expressed frustration with Putin over his refusal to stop the missile strikes, threatening again on Tuesday to impose further economic sanctions on Russia if it refuses to cooperate.
