The top diplomats of Russia and the US met in person for the first time since September 2025.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met on Thursday on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Manila, Philippines.
The two diplomats did not make any statements or take questions from reporters before or after the meeting, their first in-person talks since September 2025.
The two sides were expected to discuss the ongoing conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine, as well as the US and Iran. Owing to the tight schedule, the meeting lasted around 35 minutes.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the Americans requested the meeting, which is widely seen as an attempt by Rubio to revive peace negotiations, which President Donald Trump has sought to mediate between Russia and Ukraine since returning to the White House early last year.
Although initially promising, the talks have so far failed to produce any breakthroughs and have largely stalled since the US became embroiled in the war in the Middle East.
Moscow has praised Trump’s efforts while largely blaming Ukraine’s European backers for trying to sabotage the negotiations. Earlier this month, Lavrov argued that the West is not seeking a settlement in good faith, adding that “the reserve of goodwill and hope has been exhausted.”
President Vladimir Putin affirmed last month that Russia is sticking to its original terms, including demands that Ukraine recognize Russia’s new borders and abandon its plans to join NATO in favor of permanent neutrality.
Oh FFS wake up Russia. These pricks are your enemy and they are arming your enemy. Iran has the right idea.
American duplicity (at Europe’s behest) is obvious to the Russians.
Trump and Putin met a year ago at the Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska to plan an armistice to end the Ukraine war with the Donbass annexed by Russia. Trump had earlier made fake theatre of bringing Zelensky under control by pretending to end support for Ukraine, but instead increased support and arms for Ukraine. Trump’s intention was to deceive Russia, but it appears Russia isn’t fooled.
Now Rubio hoped to “revive peace negotiations” in Manila but achieved nothing because it’s obvious to the Russians that Rubio is also a moron who can’t be trusted.
Meanwhile, the USA/Europe is busy capitulating in both wars (Ukraine and Iran). Merging both Ukraine and Iran wars is WW3
Little Marco is once again under the direction of the J3w$ & Zionists conducting a deflective side show..
& Lavrov (the ONLY true statesman besides Putin & Medvedev) knows it!
The Russians have given grace to every possibility of achieving peace, but the J3w$ that are deeply entrenched in Western Governments continue to break agreements, ceasefires, and International Law!
Putin will hopefully place the Zionist-controlled Western Governments in check, and then offer the J3w$ the chance to leave Palestine permanently by allowing them to settle in the JAO in Siberia, where Putin & Xi can keep an eye on them to ensure that they do no further damage to the world as they have done in Russia 1917-1991 and to Palestine!
