U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Rubio conveyed the U.S. administration's frustration over the lack of progress toward peace and confirmed that new U.S. sanctions on Russia remain a 'real option,' though no commitments were made.

Rubio noted that both parties presented new ideas during the meeting, which he plans to share with President Trump. He also clarified that recent pauses in U.S. weapon shipments to Ukraine were due to a review of stockpiles and that shipments have since continued.

Rubio: New Russia sanctions a ‘real option’

While Russia keeps pounding Ukraine, the top Russian and US diplomats met today in Malaysia. Now, this happened on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov talked, of course, just days after President Trump voiced frustration, and that's to put it mildly, with Russian President Putin for not pursuing peace with Ukraine. Mr. Trump said multiple times this week that Ukraine needs defensive weapons from the United States. Kylie Atwood is at that ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur. She joins us now. Marco Rubio spoke to you after that meeting. What did he tell you? Well, listen, he said that he expressed that disappointment, that frustration on behalf of President Trump, that there hasn't been progress between Russia and Ukraine on movement towards a peace process to end that war. But he also said that he spoke with the Russian Foreign Minister. They both put ideas on the table. He said that he would take those ideas back to President Trump as soon as tonight. And he told me that the ideas that Russia put on the table were new, they constituted a different approach. So that's significant. Of course, we have to be cautionary here when we talk about potential movement towards any sort of peace in the Ukraine war. But it was clear that the Secretary of State did not feel that the meeting today took them backwards. And when he was asked about the possibility of new US sanctions on Russia, he made no commitments. Here's what he said on that. The President has said that that's an option that's available to him, both under existing authorities, but primarily if the Senate and the House can pass legislation that gives them the opportunity to do that. Again, that's the President's decision to make. We are obviously, he's frustrated by the fact that more progress has not been made. Now, the Secretary of State then went on to explain that the halt on US weapon shipments to Ukraine that was put into place last week, in his description, was the result of a review of US stockpiles. He effectively downplayed that halt, said that it was a pause pending review, that those weapons shipments to Ukraine have continued on. And so making it clear that there isn't a halt at this moment in time when it comes to those US shipments of weapons to Ukraine. Becky.
