The US Secretary of State’s call with a European coalition, including Ukraine’s top diplomat, signals a new phase of talks, but critics say the administration’s strategy lacks credibility with Moscow.

In a crucial call on Monday, Secretary of State Rubio spoke with a wide range of his European counterparts, including foreign ministers from Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Ukraine, along with the UK Foreign Secretary and the EU’s High Representative.
