After meeting U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow won’t pause the war for Ukraine talks
Russia will not halt hostilities during any potential negotiations with Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during the U.N. General Assembly in New York. After their meeting, Lavrov stated that Moscow would not pause the war in Ukraine for any negotiations. He emphasized that Europe seeks a temporary break to restock Ukraine's military resources, but Russia remains open to talks aimed at achieving "a just peace" in Ukraine.
Prior to addressing the U.N. Security Council, Lavrov and Rubio discussed the possibility of inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami in December. Rubio acknowledged the difficulty of reaching an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine but stated that the U.S. would attempt to do so.
