Direct Rubio language: “The most important thing we will go from from here is a strong feeling that Ukraine is ready to do complex things, as well as the Russians will have to do complex things to put an end to this” conflict “or at least suspend it in some way.”
Details: Rubio refused to specify the possible contours of the future peace agreement, but emphasized that there was no military solution to the war.
“The Russians cannot conquer all Ukraine, and it is obvious that Ukraine will be very difficult at any reasonable period of time to force the Russians to return to where they were in 2014,” the US Secretary of State added.
Tuesday negotiations will most likely not delve into the proposed agreement on Ukrainian natural resources, which US President Donald Trump called compensation for Ukraine’s military support from the United States after a full -scale invasion of Russia.
