Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is set to meet US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Manila on Thursday, with talks centered on the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Moscow has condemned recent US strikes on its ally Iran, while US-led efforts to end the Ukraine war remain stalled. The meeting comes as Ukrainian counter-strikes on Russian energy facilities have caused fuel shortages in Russia, a major oil producer. This geopolitical dialogue could influence global risk sentiment, potentially impacting safe-haven demand for gold and crude oil prices, which in turn affects Pakistan's import bill and inflation.
