Rubio’s direct speech: “It is very important to end the war, but what is more important is that there is security in Ukraine, that there are no new invasions, and what is also very important is that we want an era of prosperity to begin in Ukraine, not just reconstruction, but for Ukraine to be stronger and more prosperous than before. This is not just a cessation of hostilities, but preparation of Ukraine for long-term prosperity.

We laid the groundwork for this in Geneva, communication continued throughout the week, today was another step, but there is still work to be done. And there is another side that needs to be part of this equation. Witkoff is going to Moscow, will interact with the Russian side, but we also understand its position.
We still have a lot of work to do, but today’s session was quite productive. We remain realistic about how difficult this all looks, but we are also realistic about the progress that is already being made. It is not only about stopping the war, but also about building a more prosperous future in Ukraine.”
Details: At the same time, Umerov called the meeting productive and successful.
He thanked the US representatives for helping to “lay the foundation for a future prosperous Ukraine.”
“We are talking about the future of Ukraine, about all the important issues for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. The USA is very supportive of us in this,” Umyerov said.
