Ukraine: US and Russia's top diplomats discuss 'next steps'

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. d-russia-s-top-diplomats-discuss-next-steps.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Sunday, March 16th 2025 at 6:21 GMT by dw}

Indicating a thaw in US-Russia relations, Marco Rubio and Sergey Lavrov spoke about further efforts to ending the war in Ukraine as overnight aerial strikes continue. Follow DW for more.

The article discusses a recent diplomatic engagement involving the foreign ministers of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia, focusing on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met to discuss potential next steps towards de-escalation and peace. The talks come at a critical time as tensions remain high with no significant breakthroughs in previous negotiations. Key points include discussions on humanitarian corridors, ceasefires, and the broader geopolitical implications of the conflict. The U.S. emphasized the importance of diplomacy and reiterated its support for Ukraine's sovereignty, while Russia expressed concerns over security guarantees and the treatment of ethnic Russians in Ukraine. The meeting, although not yielding immediate solutions, was seen as a step towards maintaining open lines of communication to prevent further escalation.
