Lavrov said the talks process was moving in the right direction, and negotiations would continue with Washington.
WASHINGTON - Russia's foreign minister said Thursday that Moscow was ready to do a deal on its war in Ukraine after Donald Trump urged Vladimir Putin to halt attacks, in a rare rebuke following the deadliest strikes on Kyiv in months.
Trump, however, issued a direct appeal to Russian President Putin following missile and drone strikes on the Ukrainian capital early Thursday, which left at least 12 people dead. He questioned whether Kyiv's allies were doing enough to force Putin to agree to a full and unconditional ceasefire. In contrast, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Thursday it was Moscow, not Kyiv, that needed to move forward in negotiations.
