Trump Slams Lavrov, Pressures Putin for Ukraine Peace Deal | Times Now World
U.S. President Donald Trump is stepping up efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, blasting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s claims about Volodymyr Zelensky’s legitimacy as “posturing” and “bullshit.” Trump stressed that only direct talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky can halt the devastating conflict. Speaking after his Alaska summit with Putin, Trump highlighted the human cost of the war and threatened severe economic consequences if Russia refuses a ceasefire. While Moscow insists peace talks must recognize annexed territories — a condition Zelensky rejects — Trump remains confident he can broker a deal. His plan includes a bilateral Putin-Zelensky meeting, followed by a trilateral summit to push for a settlement. With Putin signaling openness to dialogue and Lavrov amplifying Moscow’s demands, Trump is betting on economic pressure and personal diplomacy to end the war.
