Russia and the United States have announced significant progress toward resolving the ongoing Ukrainian conflict, with both sides noting the emergence of conditions conducive to initiating negotiations for a lasting peace.
The announcement followed a phone call on Sunday night between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, the call was a "productive exchange of views," focusing primarily on the Ukrainian crisis and the broader diplomatic engagement between the two nations.
Lavrov and Rubio emphasized the importance of consolidating the emerging prerequisites for opening negotiations, aiming to establish a reliable path to long-term peace. The conversation also built upon the previous discussions between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on April 25, which focused on peace efforts in Ukraine.
In addition to the Ukrainian issue, other global matters were discussed, and both diplomats agreed to maintain continued communication at all levels moving forward. The talks signify a potential breakthrough in diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflict and lay the groundwork for future negotiations between Russia and the U.S.
