The surprise encounter between Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was their first since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago. U.S. officials, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss the private conversation, said Blinken and Lavrov spoke for roughly 10 minutes on the sidelines of the conference in New Delhi. Russia's foreign ministry denied the top diplomats held a one-on-one meeting.

What’s wrong with Blinken? Elenskyy made Law It’s now illegal to negotiate. He knows that tho… weird
Yeah, Ukraine is winning on twitter…. Real life is a completely different matter. Ukraine already lost most trained and motivated soldiers along with almost all hardware it had before the war plus hundreds of tanks and IFVs it got from Eastern Europe (to understand the scale of losses it had 1 990 tanks, 1 212 IFVs, 1 112 heavy artillery systems, 354 multiple rocket launchers). Its army is a shadow of its former self at the beginning of the war. Zelenskyy is catching and forced conscripting often at gunpoint mostly people with zero motivation to die for him, who never served in the army, often disabled. When such people are in the trenches, it means that the front can collapse at any moment. According to WaPo of all places Russians have 1:6 advantage in artillery (you can imagine their real advantage). 85% of Ukrainian soldiers are killed even without seeing an enemy. Biden administration is getting quite desperate. The only option left for Biden administration is to throw Polish army into a meat grinder . I just hope that Polish government isn’t that crazy.
LOL. That’s why Russia AKA Orc Land, has lost 70K troops out of 250k casualties.
The Three Day Special Military Operations (oops 1 year) is going great. Winning at its best! LOL!
Troll everything that you said is completely false and ridiculous.
Another Russian bot
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
Mr. Blinken bought for himself an obscure place in history…. Very sad
Beats a shallow grave like Romania’s Cesescu’s and Vladimir
One day as we knew about Iraq, we will also know the truth about the pipelines, the war in Ukraine, the biolabs in Ukraine, etc etc.
Glory to the west
One day, Russia will want to talk. Then, with or without Vladimir let them sweat for a while.
How? Elenski made law no negotiations.
US needs to just give up on hegemony, you’re not going to win. Time to adapt to the new changes coming.
The US didn’t invade Ukraine
Just so Ukraine can join nato which started this
Don’t lie, Dimitry. Go back to your vodka drunk.
Any country is free to join NATO and for reasons such as this fiasco.
Warning? More like plz end war.

Whenever he opens his mouth he is lying.
India leadership is so stupid. How can they pretend to negotiate peace, when one country is invading and murdering others. Only peace that can be had is if Russia fully leaves ukraine and everyone agrees to respect international boundaries.
You cannot have peace long lasting if you reward the invader with land in exchange for them to stop atatcking you. Rewarding invaders does not lead to long term peace.
