Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met his US counterpart Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Kuala Lumpur. This, as US President Donald Trump recently promised to boost military aid to Ukraine, while threatening to impose steep sanctions on Russia. The meeting also coincided with the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Italy, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pushed for greater use of Russia’s frozen assets.
