Rubio calls for 'new ideas' to end Ukraine war after Lavrov meeting
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "new ideas" are needed to end the war in Ukraine after meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Riyadh. This was the first high-level face-to-face talks between the US and Russia since the full-scale invasion began. The meeting signals a potential shift toward diplomatic engagement, though no immediate breakthrough was announced.
