US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed doubts about whether the war in Ukraine can be ended through negotiations. In his words, it is currently impossible to assert that a peaceful settlement is imminent.
«Я не знаю, чи існує шлях до мирних переговорів щодо України. Саме це ми зараз і намагаємось з’ясувати. Не думаю, що хтось із присутніх стверджує, ніби ми стоїмо на порозі мирного врегулювання» (I do not know if there is a path to peace negotiations regarding Ukraine. That is exactly what we are trying to figure out right now. I do not think anyone present claims that we are on the verge of a peaceful settlement), the politician noted.
These comments came against the backdrop of today's statements by US President Donald Trump, who again expressed the view that an agreement to end the war is approaching.
In addition to discussing the negotiation process, Rubio drew attention to the need to maintain communication between Washington and Moscow, reminding of the Russian nuclear arsenal.
«Не можна забувати, що в Росії величезний ядерний арсенал. Можливо, деякі про це забувають, але ми хотіли б нагадати: незалежно від інших обставин, вкрай важливо, щоб США і Росія зберігали контакти на певному рівні» (One must not forget that Russia has a huge nuclear arsenal. Perhaps some have forgotten, but we would like to remind: regardless of other circumstances, it is extremely important that the US and Russia maintain contacts at a certain level), the Secretary of State added.
According to him, such contacts are necessary to prevent potential escalation of tensions in the future. Rubio's remarks came following his recent meeting with the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergey Lavrov.
