Marco Rubio and Sergey Lavrov meet in Malaysia today
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Malaysia. This is reported by several international news agencies.
The meeting will take place on Thursday in the capital Kuala Lumpur at the annual ASEAN forum, a diplomatic meeting for ten Asian countries, the United States and Europe, writes AP.
While the meeting is planned, the situation is tense between the United States and Russia. Russia has escalated its attacks on Ukraine and this week the United States announced a U-turn, where it will now send more weapons to Ukraine. On Tuesday, Donald Trump said that Putin "does not treat people right".
- They are killing too many people. So we will send defensive weapons to Ukraine, Trump said at the time.

Macron: European force ready for ceasefire in Ukraine
A European peacekeeping force is ready to be sent to Ukraine in the days after a potential ceasefire with Russia. This is what French President Emmanuel Macron said during a press conference.
Macron is visiting the UK, where he and Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a virtual meeting with, among others, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyj.
According to Starmer, the peacekeeping force known as the "coalition of the willing" will focus on "putting Ukraine in the best possible negotiating position" until a ceasefire is reached. Exactly what that means is unclear.
