President Donald Trump on Aug. 26 dismissed recent comments by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov questioning the legitimacy of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and suggesting Moscow would refuse to sign a peace agreement with him. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said Lavrov’s remarks "don’t matter" because "everybody’s posturing— it’s all bullshit." The president’s blunt assessment aligns with earlier statements from U.S. officials who have argued that Russia’s public rhetoric does not always mirror its private negotiating stance. Lavrov told NBC this week that the Kremlin viewed Zelensky as illegitimate, casting fresh doubt on prospects for a negotiated settlement to the 18-month-old conflict. Trump indicated he was not deterred by the foreign minister’s comments and suggested that talks could still progress despite public sparring.
