At the G20 meeting in India, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a brief discussion. Blinken made three points to Lavrov, including support for Ukraine in the conflict, urging Russia to reverse its decision to suspend the New START nuclear treaty, and asking Moscow to release political prisoners. The New START treaty is a key nuclear arms control treaty between the two countries, and the meeting comes at a time of heightened tensions between them.
