Secretary of State Rubio: If Russia and Ukraine decide to continue fighting, the US will not stop them
The US plans to increase efforts to end the Ukraine conflict peacefully, but if the conflicting parties fail to reach an agreement and continue fighting, no one will stop them. This statement was made by US Secretary of State Mark Rubio during an interview with Fox News.
The US believes that Russia and Ukraine are currently closer than ever to signing a peace agreement, but there is also the possibility that the fighting may continue. If Russia and Ukraine do not show a willingness to resolve the issue peacefully, this situation will occur, and at that time, no one will hinder the continuation of the war.
According to US Secretary of State Rubio, the focus of the current dispute between Russia and Ukraine is a 30-50 km area and the 20% of the Donetsk region still under Ukrainian control. The US also wants to end the war as soon as possible, but must take into account the positions of Russia and Ukraine, which are quite different. However, the decision to cease hostilities must be made by Russia and Ukraine, and the US cannot force them.
US Secretary of State Rubio also confirmed that the US no longer intends to provide unlimited military aid to Ukraine.
