What was discussed in the first high-profile meeting between the US and Russia in nearly three years?

In this historic meeting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss the war in Ukraine, marking the first such talks in nearly three years. Notably, Ukrainian officials were not present at these discussions, which focused on how to end Russia's war in Ukraine. The meeting represents a radical diplomatic shift, occurring alongside controversial statements from President Trump, who claimed Ukraine should 'never have started it' and 'could have made a deal' - despite the fact that Russia was the aggressor who invaded Ukraine. This US-Russia engagement without Ukrainian representation signals a significant departure from previous diplomatic approaches.
