[Russian Foreign Minister: Dialogue with the US Has Not Yielded Substantial Results] On September 17, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a social event that dialogue with the United States has not yet yielded any substantial results for Russia, and is not expected to. On September 5 and 6, US Presidential Envoy Witkov and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner visited Russia and Ukraine respectively, bringing with them a so-called "peace plan" to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Russian and US leaders held a one-hour phone call on September 8, with both sides giving positive assessments of the US envoy's shuttle mediation efforts. However, according to an interview released earlier on September 8, Lavrov revealed that the two core sticking points that have been hindering a complete end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict have still not seen any progress.
