Rubio, who earlier held talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, said Moscow and Kyiv should have the incentive to end a \u201cvery blood war\u201d that devastated both sides.<\/p>

Rubio alluded to how U.S.-mediated talks have stalled, calling them \u201cunsuccessful or at least unfruitful\u201d in the past but insisted President Donald Trump was committed to the work \u201cif conditions and factors have changed to make that possible.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThat\u2019s been the challenge, an end that both sides can accept. And we\u2019ve tried and we\u2019ll continue to try to see if we can, you know, find a middle ground that brings this about. And we\u2019re prepared to play that role if the opportunity presents itself,\u201d Rubio told reporters.<\/p>

Lavrov largely ignored questions from reporters after the meeting. The Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow said he emphasized to Rubio \u201cthe unacceptability of further arming\u201d Ukraine and accused European countries of pursuing Russia\u2019s \u201cstrategic defeat.\u201d<\/p>
