Zelenskyy mocks Russian reporter's Moscow visit question at UN

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded with sarcasm and a curse word to a Russian state TV reporter's repeated question about when he would visit Moscow, saying "On a rocket, damn it!" during the UN General Assembly in New York. The exchange, captured on video and widely shared on social media, drew reactions from both Ukrainian and Russian officials. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova mocked Zelenskyy, claiming his response revealed his true nature and suggested he fears a deadly fate. Zelenskyy has consistently expressed willingness to meet Putin to discuss ending the war, but rejects Moscow as a venue, citing security concerns and avoiding the appearance of capitulation. He also met with US President Donald Trump at the UN, though no concrete results emerged.
