Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held a series of talks during the High-Level Week of the UN General Assembly.
During the talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Lavrov discussed the situation in Ukraine and the development of bilateral relations.
The top diplomats of the two countries confirmed their mutual interest in resolving the crisis.
Lavrov stressed Moscow's readiness to adhere to the line developed by Trump and Putin in Alaska.
The minister noted the unacceptability of the schemes promoted by Kiev and some European countries.
The diplomats “synchronized notes“ on the complex aspects of bilateral relations.
They noted the importance of resuming the work of diplomatic missions.
The parties agreed to continue the constructive dialogue between their foreign ministries.
Rubio reiterated US President Donald Trump's call for an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
The Secretary of State asked Russia to take steps to achieve long-term peace.
US Vice President J.D. Vance said that Donald Trump is increasingly losing "patience" with Moscow. The statement came amid a hardening of Washington's stance toward Moscow over stalled diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine, Agence France-Presse reported, quoted by BTA.
"I think the president is starting to lose patience with the Russians because he doesn't think they're doing enough to end the war," Vance told reporters during a visit to North Carolina. "I think if the Russians refuse to negotiate in good faith, it's going to be very, very bad for their country. I think the president was very clear about that."
On Tuesday, Trump's position took a dizzying turn. He stated at the UN that Ukraine can regain all the territories seized by Russia.
Earlier yesterday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the annual session of the UN General Assembly. The conversation between the two, which, according to a State Department spokesman, lasted about 50 minutes, apparently turned into a clash between the number one American diplomat and the Russian minister.
Rubio called for "the killing (in Ukraine) to stop and urged Moscow to take meaningful steps to find a lasting solution to the conflict".
Lavrov returned fire and "insisted that the schemes launched by Kiev and some European capitals to prolong the conflict are unacceptable", the Russian transcript of the conversation shows.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised his American counterpart for his reversal of position, but added that NATO as an organization alone cannot guarantee 100 percent of his country's security.
"Because international institutions are weak, this madness continues. "Even membership in the long-standing military alliance does not automatically mean you are safe," Zelensky told the UN General Assembly.
The Ukrainian leader added that he had a "good meeting" with Trump, who ruled out Kiev joining NATO and in February sharply criticized Zelensky during their meeting at the White House.
