No Progress as Lavrov-Kuleba Meeting Ends

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, the first high-level talks between the two countries since Moscow launched an unprovoked invasion of its neighbor last month, failed to make progress on a cease-fire.

Kuleba said after the meeting in the Turkish resort city of Antalya on March 10, 15 days into the war, that Lavrov did not commit to ensuring a humanitarian corridor in the besieged city of Mariupol.

He added that Ukraine was ready to continue to engage with Russia in finding a path to stop the war.
