First Lavrov-Blinken meeting since the beginning of the Ukraine war inconclusive – Ukraine

They met face-to-face and the conversation lasted just ten minutes, the US State Department said on Thursday. Shortly thereafter, the Russian foreign office also exercised demonstrative calm when it came to Sergei Lavrov’s first meeting with his US counterpart Antony Blinken since the Russian attack on Ukraine began: Lavrov said he exchanged a few words with Blinken in passing from Moscow.
