Houston, TX, July 22, 2026 —
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to convene with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Manila. The meeting is scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit.
A key agenda item for Secretary Rubio during the discussion will be to explore potential U.S. involvement in brokering a resolution to the ongoing war in Ukraine. This diplomatic effort comes at a time when the conflict has reportedly received less international focus due to other emerging global developments.
The meeting between the top diplomats of the United States and Russia is expected to address various bilateral and international issues, with the situation in Ukraine being a significant point of discussion.
