'America's friend is fatal': Iran taunts Zelensky as Lavrov says Russia won't be fooled again

Russia has rejected Ukraine’s proposal for a 60-day ceasefire to facilitate presidential elections, with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saying Moscow will continue pursuing its war objectives. Meanwhile, Iran has issued a pointed warning to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, invoking Henry Kissinger’s famous remark about the risks of being America’s ally after Donald Trump called for a “new Ukrainian president.” The remarks add another layer of diplomatic pressure on Kyiv as the war and debate over Ukraine’s political future continue.
