United States and Russian officials have met in Saudi Arabia for the first high-level talks between the two countries since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, along with other senior officials, met on Tuesday morning in Riyadh’s Diriyah Palace. The talks, which discussed the potential for finding path to end the war in Ukraine, involved neither Kyiv nor European representatives.
