Zelensky curses at Moscow meeting proposal: 'On a rocket, damn it!'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted with sarcasm and a curse to Russia's proposal for a meeting in Moscow, telling a Russian state TV reporter he would arrive "on a rocket, damn it!" during a New York visit. The exchange, captured on video, went viral after the reporter posted it alongside an AI-generated image of Zelensky on a playground rocket. Russian officials mocked Zelensky, suggesting he fears for his safety and using his Russian curse word to question his character. Zelensky, who met with US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, has repeatedly sought direct talks with Putin to end the war, but Moscow insists such a meeting occur only in the Russian capital, which Kyiv rejects.
