Lavrov and Rubio are discussing “concrete” plans on war in Ukraine …
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke to US Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio on Wednesday about the preparation of “firm plans” for new round of negotiations with Kiev, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
In a statement published on the Ministry’s website, “Lavrov spoke to Rubio about implementing contracts during their telephone call a week ago between Russian and US presidents, and the Russian side was prepared for the next round of the Russian -Ukrainian negotiations.”
“Russia proposes to hold direct negotiations in Istanbul on June 2.
During the joint connection with Rubio, Lavrov insisted on a joint venture between Russian and US diplomats, and also dealt with the current problems in the bilateral agenda.
The next Monday proposed a new round of direct research with Kie in Istanbul, to present a “memo” of peace that includes its conditions to end the war.
This came in a move by Ukraine, claiming that this should be aware of the Russian conditions, and to ensure that the meeting results can lead to the results of the meeting.
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov explained to his US opponent Marco Rubio about the ongoing arrangements.
In a statement, Lavrov said in a statement: “Our ambassador is ready to provide this note to the Ukrainian Ambassador and the necessary clarification during the second round of direct talks in Istanbul on Monday, June 2.”
This diplomatic movement has come to light of the transmission of Ukraine and Russia’s largest air strikes in recent weeks.
For his part, US President Donald Trump expressed his “great disappointment” as a result of the Russian bombing during the negotiation process, but he refused to impose more sanctions on Moscow.
“If I think I am close to reach a agreement, I don’t want to spoil the matter by doing this,” Trump said.
Earlier, on Wednesday, Kremlin refused to invite the Ukrainian president to hold a tripartite summit with President Trump and Putin.
Moscow said such a meeting would not take place if “solid” contracts are not reached.
