Ukraine peace talks stall as Russia awaits new U.S. proposals after Rubio-Lavrov meeting
Following a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Kremlin says it will wait for new American proposals to end the Ukraine war, while blaming Ukraine's rejection of earlier peace terms on European influence and continued U.S. military assistance. Rubio acknowledged no quick deal is possible despite Trump administration commitment to diplomacy.
