> U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov on Aug. 31 that Washington and Moscow could not pursue economic cooperation while Russia continues its war against Ukraine, people familiar with the meeting told the Kyiv Independent. Bessent pressed for a peace agreement, but no 28-point plan was discussed. European officials also confronted Siluanov over the war.
