Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov tells US counterpart Marco Rubio that continued weapons deliveries to Ukraine are unacceptable, according to all three reports. The comments are made during Lavrov’s meeting with Rubio in Manila, which is described as their first encounter in nearly a year. Russia also reiterates its readiness to pursue a diplomatic solution to the conflict, while reiterating its position that outside support for Kyiv prolongs the war. One report notes Russia’s criticism of Europe, framing European involvement as a factor that extends the fighting. The outlets describe Lavrov’s message to the US as a warning against ongoing arms deliveries, aligning across coverage that the US was urged to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. None of the accounts provide details on specific weapons, quantities, or timelines, focusing instead on the diplomatic exchange and Russia’s stated rationale. The reports present the meeting as part of broader US-Russia engagement amid the war.
