RF FM holds telephone talk with U.S. Sec of State

ArmInfo. Russian Foreign Minister during a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State  Marco Rubio, at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov officially informed the American side of Russia's retaliatory actions against Ukraine.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry's press service, Lavrov  informed the American side that the Russian Armed Forces are  launching systematic and consistent strikes against facilities in  Kyiv used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as against the  relevant decision-making centers.

Lavrov drew attention to the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement of  May 25, which recommended that the United States, along with other  states with missions in Kyiv, ensure the evacuation of their  diplomatic personnel and other citizens from the Ukrainian capital.

"The Minister recalled the agreements reached at the highest level in  Anchorage in August 2025, at the US proposal, regarding the Ukrainian  conflict and expressed regret that the brazen efforts of the European  elites and the Kyiv regime are undermining these agreements, which  paved the way for a sustainable, long- term settlement based on a  balance of interests," the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement  continued.

It added that the heads of the foreign ministries exchanged  assessments of diplomatic initiatives to resolve the crisis in the  Strait of Hormuz and the situation around Cuba, and reaffirmed their  mutual commitment, despite known differences, to intensify efforts to  normalize the working conditions of Russian and US diplomatic  missions in each other's territories.

Notably, the conversation took place on the eve of Rubio's short  visit to Yerevan, where he is scheduled to meet with Armenian Foreign  Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and sign a Memorandum of Understanding.
