Trump insists Russia refusal to deal with Zelensky ‘doesn’t matter’: ‘Everybody’s posturing’

President Trump brushed off remarks by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov calling into question “illegitimate” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s legal ability to sign a peace deal.

“Doesn’t matter what they say. Everybody’s posturing. It’s all bullsh-t, okay? Everybody’s posturing,” Trump said at a Cabinet meeting.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff added: “I agree with you, sir.”

Lavrov said Sunday that “when it comes to signing legal documents… we would need very clear understanding by everybody that the person who is signing is legitimate.”
