Representatives of russia and the US held a telephone conversation during which they discussed the results of the russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul.
The official page of the russian Foreign Ministry reported this on Facebook.
The officials exchanged views on the results of the russian-Ukrainian talks that took place the day before in Istanbul.
According to the russian department, Rubio welcomed the agreements on the exchange of prisoners of war and on the preparation by each side of its vision of the conditions necessary for a ceasefire, and stressed Washington's readiness to continue to facilitate the search for a settlement.
In turn, Lavrov noted the positive role of the US, which allegedly contributed to the fact that Kyiv eventually accepted the proposal of russian dictator vladimir putin to resume the Istanbul talks.
"(Lavrov, - ed.) confirmed Moscow's readiness to continue joint work with American colleagues in this context," the russian Foreign Ministry reported.
Some other international and regional issues were also raised during the conversation, but the russian Foreign Ministry did not disclose details.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on May 16, negotiations between representatives of Ukraine and russia were held in Istanbul. For more than an hour, the parties discussed issues related to ending the war.
