An "open conversation" about the war in Ukraine. This is how the conversation between the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov is described, from the Russian side.
Rubio, on his part, expresses "disappointment and frustration" that no solution to the war is in sight.
I repeated what the president (Donald Trump) said, both disappointment and frustration over the lack of progress, says Rubio to reporters after the meeting.
The two diplomats met in Malaysia, after the US President Donald Trump expressed displeasure over the Russian President Vladimir Putin's unwillingness to end his war of aggression against Ukraine.
