U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the United States has invested significant time in efforts to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.
“There’s a reason why this war hasn’t ended yet,” Rubio said.
He added, “This is not our war.”
Rubio stressed that only one nation on Earth can communicate with both sides, and that nation is the United States. He explained that negotiations involve determining what Ukraine can live with and what Russia can live with.
However, he noted that neither side seems ready to concede anytime soon and concluded that ultimately, the decision will depend on Ukraine and Russia themselves.
