Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that Ukraine's President Zelensky lacks legitimacy to sign peace agreements, as Russia continues to reject negotiations and Zelensky's government is portrayed as illegitimate by Moscow. This stance complicates efforts by the US and others to mediate peace, with Russia demanding maximalist territorial concessions and refusing to accept Zelensky's authority, further delaying potential negotiations amid ongoing conflict.
