Lavrov warned the incident would alter Moscow&#8217;s negotiating stance and hinted at retaliation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied the attack, calling the allegation a lie and suggesting it was intended to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russia-escalates-missile-strikes-across-ukraine\/\" title=\"Russia Escalates Missile Strikes Across ...\">undermine peace talks<\/a> being led by former President Donald Trump. The claim came shortly after Trump and Zelenskyy met at Mar-a-Lago and after a &#8220;positive&#8221; phone call between Trump and Putin, raising concerns that conflicting narratives could jeopardize progress toward a ceasefire. With both sides presenting opposing accounts, the episode increases uncertainty around the prospects for a negotiated end to the conflict.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump isn&rsquo;t going to be thrilled about this &mdash;
