Rubio gave Lavrov “the same message transferred by American representatives to the Ukrainian delegation,” the State Department said.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov on April 17 “first spoke on the phone” with US secretary Marco Rubio. This was reported by the Russian Foreign Ministry and the press service of the United States State Department.
Rubio gave Lavrov “the same message passed by American representatives to the Ukrainian delegation and our European allies in Paris: President Trump and the United States want this war to end, and shows the contours of a strong and long -long world on all sides.”
“The positive understanding of the American proposal in Paris shows that the world is possible if all parties are trying to achieve an agreement,” the American foreign policy added.
According to the Russian side, during the conversation, the State Secretary told Lavrov about US delegation contacts in Paris “along with representatives of Ukraine, France and many other European countries.”
During the conversation, Lavrov reiterated the propaganda cliche about “removing the root cause of the Ukrainian crisis.”
It should be noted that a month ago the United States Department of State said that the United States Secretary of the State Marco Rubio “held a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.” As such, it is unclear how the current conversation may be “first.”
Lavrov does not include territorial concessions in Ukraine
