The two countries’ top diplomats held discussions in which both sides agreed broadly to pursue three goals.

That includes restoring staffing at their respective embassies in Washington and Moscow, creating a high-level team to support Ukraine peace talks, and exploring closer relations and economic cooperation.

The pair also agreed to to start working towards ending the war in Ukraine. However, no Ukrainian officials were present at the meeting. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country would not accept any outcome from the talks since Kyiv did not take part.
