US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to halt the ongoing “killing” in Ukraine, reflecting a firmer US stance toward Russia, the Moscow Times reported on September 24.

According to State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott, Rubio “reiterated President [Donald] Trump’s call for the killing to stop and the need for Moscow to take meaningful steps toward a durable resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war.”

The same day, Zelenskyy expressed caution about NATO’s ability to guarantee Ukraine’s security, telling the United Nations General Assembly on September 24, “Because international institutions are too weak, this madness continues. Even being part of the long-standing military alliance doesn’t automatically mean you are safe.”

Earlier, US President Donald Trump suggested that restoring the borders where the war in Ukraine began is entirely possible and that the US will continue supplying weapons to NATO.
