What was the outcome of the diplomatic meeting between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov?

The diplomatic meeting between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov resulted in progress toward potential peace negotiations regarding the Ukraine conflict. According to Rubio, he came away from the talks convinced that the Russians are willing to engage in a serious process to determine how an end can be brought to the war. While this marks a shift toward diplomacy, the success of these efforts will depend on the willingness of all sides in the conflict to make certain concessions. The tense meeting, which included other US officials like National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, appears to have established a foundation for further discussions about potential mechanisms to end hostilities.
