Marco Rubio and Sergey Lavrov to meet in New York
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in New York on September 23. The meeting will take place on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The discussions are expected to focus on the conflict in Ukraine, with Lavrov seeking to clarify the U.S. position on potential settlement and mediation efforts. This diplomatic contact follows a meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which the two leaders discussed the possibility of a mutual cessation of strikes against energy infrastructure.
While the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that cooperation between the two permanent UN Security Council members remains largely unexploited, it suggested that Washington's policy at the UN has become more realistic following the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
