Rubio Stressed the Need for New Ideas to Bring Peace to Ukraine
To reach an agreement on ending the war in Ukraine, it is necessary to propose and discuss “new ideas.” Previous peace proposals have been and remain unacceptable to Kyiv.
According to him, the proposals put forward so far were not acceptable to Ukraine in the past and are not acceptable to it now.
Rubio noted that those proposals “would likely be even less acceptable” now.
“If peace is to come, it will be thanks to some new ideas and new concepts, and we are ready to propose some of them under the right conditions and in the right form, if such an opportunity arises and if the conditions are favorable. We are ready to play this role in a positive way,” said the U.S. Secretary of State.
This was stated by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as reported by The Guardian.
Rubio: The approach proposed in Anchorage was unacceptable to Ukraine.
Lavrov and Rubio discussed Ukraine and Russia’s willingness to end the war while in the Philippines.
Earlier, Sergey Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia—the aggressor state—stated that he would meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) events in the Philippines.
As a reminder, Russia, the aggressor state, is ready to return to negotiations with Ukraine only after seizing the entire territory of the Donetsk region, Bloomberg reports, citing two sources close to the Kremlin.
