During the meeting, Lavrov briefed Rubio about the current situation along the combat line and emphasised the importance of not supplying more arms to Ukraine, Russian news agency Tass reported, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry. Lavrov and Rubio discussed the normalisation of operating conditions for diplomatic missions of Russia and the US. President Putin and Trump met in Anchorage in August 2025 to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine. Therefore, when my colleague Marco Rubio says that there were only proposals in Alaska and no agreement, this raises a question for me as to what we mean by an agreement. According to Lavrov, Rubio said that bringing the parties together and ending this war is what Trump has been trying to do for a year and a half.
