Rubio explained how the U.S. sees long-term peace in Ukraine.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine will be held in a closed format, and the United States must play its role in this process, as reported by ABC News.

Rubio commented on President Donald Trump's statement about ending the conflict on the first day, noting that the situation is much more complicated. 'This is a complex, tragic conflict initiated by Vladimir Putin, which has caused tremendous harm to Ukraine and Russia, as well as to the stability of Europe,' the Secretary of State emphasized.

According to him, the only way to resolve these issues is to return to pragmatism and a serious approach. 'The U.S. must fulfill its role. We have supported Ukraine, but this conflict must end. We want to ensure that the conflict does not reoccur in 3-5 years,' Rubio stressed.

It is important to note that Marco Rubio was the first officially approved member of Trump's cabinet, receiving unanimous support from the Senate.

Former advisor to Donald Trump, John Bolton, previously stated that Trump wishes to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible, without paying particular attention to the terms of the conflict's cessation. Bolton also expressed the opinion that Russia may be interested in reaching an agreement to ceasefire and establish border lines based on the current situation at the front.

During his speech, Rubio also mentioned the ceasefire in Gaza, expressing hope for a lasting truce, but noted the difficulty in achieving long-term agreements with terrorist organizations.

Earlier, Trump talked about his plans to meet with Putin.
