Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it is dependent on Russia to accept a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine for immediate negotiations towards the end of the war that begins.
Rubio made a statement following a meeting with a senior Ukrainian official in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It helped us to repair Ukrainian relations with us.
The Ukrainians are ready to accept a ceasefire, Rubio said, adding that the US will offer to Russia through multiple diplomatic channels.
“Our hope is that the Russians say yes and they will agree, so we can discuss how to stop the shooting, killings, dying, dying, dying, in a way that is acceptable and lasting for both sides. ”
