Secretary of State Marco Rubio held a call today with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, discussing ongoing efforts to secure a lasting end to the Russia-Ukraine war. The conversation comes on the heels of President Trump’s productive meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy earlier this week.
During the call, Secretary Rubio thanked Foreign Secretary Lammy for the United Kingdom's work towards a durable peace in Ukraine. This effort is part of a broader discussion among the US, France, Germany, and Ukraine hosted by the UK on April 22, which took place in London. The discussions aimed to explore ways to build upon the momentum generated by President Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
The US and UK have long-standing relationships and cooperate closely on various international issues, including efforts to promote peace and stability in Europe. Secretary Rubio's call with Foreign Secretary Lammy reflects this partnership and demonstrates the commitment of both countries to finding a lasting solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, the US and UK will remain engaged in diplomatic efforts to support a peaceful resolution.
