> Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met during the 81st UN General Assembly’s high-level week to discuss the Ukraine conflict and bilateral ties. Lavrov called for repairing Moscow-Washington relations, while Rubio said a short-term or temporary ceasefire would not settle the war, though both sides appear interested in limited pauses involving grain and energy supplies.
