Rubio to Revive Prospect of US Helping End War in Ukraine in Meeting with Russian Counterpart
Rubio said the talks will test whether new conditions can revive diplomacy after months of stalled indirect negotiations.
- On Thursday, State Marco Rubio is set to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Manila, Philippines, where he expects to explore renewing United States efforts to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.
- Diplomatic efforts to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict have stalled over the past several months, but Rubio suggested that new circumstances could create an opening to discuss potential pathways toward a settlement.
- Moscow claims 'Anchorage agreements' emerged from President Donald Trump's August 2025 summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, though Rubio disputes that any formal agreements concerning Ukraine were reached.
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov indicated he intends to question Rubio about Trump's recent assessment that a settlement is "closer than people realize," as both sides manage areas of disagreement.
- Rubio met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang to discuss regional territorial disputes involving China, as ongoing ASEAN negotiations for a non-aggression pact in the South China Sea continue.
