Rubio commented on negotiations with the Russians

The war between Ukraine and Russia should end in conditions to fix both sides. In this case the world will be long -TERM. State Secretary of State Mark Rubio said in a briefing in completing negotiations at the Russian Federation delegation in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, February 18.

In particular, he noted that he is now “convinced” of Russia’s readiness to begin a serious process to determine how to end the war.

“We can achieve such a result, obviously, depends on the readiness of each side of this conflict to agree with certain things,” added the head of the state department.

According to him, the meeting is now “putting a foundation” for future contacts. But the result depends on whether the parties can not only take obligations, but to fulfill them. And it will “see in the coming weeks.”

“And when you talk about the long -term and sustainable completion of the conflict, it means acceptable -accept for all its participants. Russia’s side,” Rubio said.

He indicated the EU an additional role, saying “there are other parties imposing sanctions, the European Union at some point will have to sit at the negotiation table, as they also have penalties.”

Rubio also confirmed information that the United States and Russia have reached several agreements on a number of issues.

Remember that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized negotiations between the United States and the Russian Federation, and has also canceled his visit to Saudi Arabia, which should take place on Wednesday.
