The top diplomats have discussed the Ukraine conflict and bilateral US-Russia relations on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly in New York
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Kiev’s deliberate attacks on energy and cross-border infrastructure are destabilizing global markets, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Lavrov and Rubio met on Wednesday on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly in New York, where they held an extensive discussion on Ukraine, bilateral relations and a range of international issues. The US State Department’s brief readout said only that the two diplomats discussed the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the US-Russia relationship.
According to Moscow, Lavrov drew Rubio’s attention to what it described as close coordination between Kiev and its European backers and raised Ukrainian strikes on civilians and “cross-border infrastructure facilities,” which Russia said were deliberately contributing to instability in global energy markets.
