Rubio: US does not see Ukraine and Russia close to a deal to end the war

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the head of the United States' foreign affairs department, has said that Washington does not consider Ukraine and Russia to be close to a negotiated agreement to end the war. The assessment concerns Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine and indicates that, from the US perspective, the peace process is still far from a result.

Rubio stressed that the United States continues to try to establish whether peace can be achieved by diplomatic means. The statement, as reported, gives no further details on the content of talks, timelines or specific proposals.
