Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his American counterpart Antony Blanken have met for the first time since the Russian attack on Ukraine.
According to the international media, the senior American official says that there was a 10-minute conversation between the two leaders on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Delhi, the Indian capital.
During his briefing, Antony Blanken said that during the meeting I said to the Russian Foreign Minister what we and many others said during the UN meeting last week or what the foreign ministers participating in the G20 summit said to him. They are saying to end the ongoing war in Ukraine because lasting peace is possible only through purposeful diplomacy.
He said that during the meeting he urged the Russian Foreign Minister to restore the New Start Treaty as canceling the agreement is an irresponsible act.
A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the meeting between the two leaders but declined to give details of the meeting.
