Marco Rubio to meet Russia’s Lavrov
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Malaysia on Thursday.
The two are to meet on the sidelines of a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur, the US State Department said.
Rubio and Lavrov last met in Saudi Arabia this February, when relations between US President and Russian President were better due to Trump’s many concessions to Moscow. They have since spoken on the phone.
US artillery shells and mobile rocket artillery missiles were being delivered to Ukraine as of Wednesday, US officials told Reuters news agency.
Last week, President Donald Trump pledged to send more military aid to Ukraine amid his growing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had earlier tried to placate.
Trump complained that Putin has been and been difficult to work with in US efforts to end the war.
On Thursday, Ukrainian President is set to attend a call with leaders of the “coalition of the willing” nations. Britain and France are leading the talks in finding a possible solution and ceasefire in Ukraine.
