""had a productive call""
""If we just stop, it means forgetting the root causes of this conflict, which the American administration clearly understood," Lavrov complained."
""I am referring to ensuring Ukraine's nonaligned, nonnuclear status, which implies refraining from any attempts to draw it into NATO.""
A planned Budapest summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin was canceled following a phone call between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. A White House official said Rubio and Lavrov "had a productive call" and that an in-person meeting was unnecessary. The official also said Trump had no plans to meet Putin after the two leaders spoke by phone for two hours. Lavrov expressed reservations about follow-up to an Alaska summit after Poland warned it would enforce an ICC arrest warrant if Putin entered its airspace, and said Russians remained committed to fighting while citing Ukraine's nonaligned, nonnuclear status as a root cause.
