Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Diplomat Marco Rubio Engage in Dialogue as Kyiv Faces Continued Attacks
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US top diplomat Marco Rubio held 'frank' talks regarding the ongoing Ukraine war during a meeting on Thursday.
Both sides acknowledged the discussion, although the prospects of a breakthrough seem slim at this time.
The meeting took place hours after Moscow intensified its assault on Kyiv for the second consecutive night, causing significant damage and loss of life.
The United Nations has reported that attacks on Ukrainian cities have resulted in the highest number of civilian casualties in three years.
Despite these developments, US President
Donald Trump remains committed to finding a resolution and has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of dishonesty in negotiations.
Meanwhile, both Ukraine and NATO are working to strengthen their military capabilities, with plans for additional support from the United States and European allies.
