Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the United States has acknowledged Russia's position regarding a potential meeting on the Ukraine conflict, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS.
Lavrov's remarks
In the comments reported by TASS, Lavrov referenced what he described as an unprecedented number of attacks on civilian targets, including polling stations, which he attributed to the Ukrainian government. These characterizations reflect Lavrov's own account and have not been independently verified in this report.
The TASS report did not provide further detail on the specific content of the US acknowledgment Lavrov referenced, nor on any scheduling or agenda for a potential meeting on the conflict.
Context
Lavrov's statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic exchanges between Russia, Ukraine and Western governments over the course of the conflict, with both sides regularly making public statements characterizing the other's actions and intentions.
As the report originates from Russian state media and relays the foreign minister's own characterization of events, readers should note that the claims about Ukrainian actions represent one side's position in an ongoing and contested conflict.
