US will abandon Ukraine peace efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made, Rubio warns
If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, the United States needs to abandon its efforts within “days” and move on, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday.
“We need to determine very quickly now, and I’m talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable,” he told reporters before departing Paris, where he had held high-level talks with European and Ukrainian officials.
“If it’s not possible, if we’re so far apart that this is not going to happen then I think the president is probably at a point where he’s going to say we’re done,” he said.
“It’s not our war. We didn’t start it. The United States has been helping Ukraine for the past three years and we want it to end, but it’s not our war,” he added.
