US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday that the U.S. may “move on” from trying to secure a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if progress is not made soon, after months of failed efforts to end the conflict. Rubio made these remarks in Paris following talks between U.S., Ukrainian, and European officials that signaled some progress towards peace. Another meeting is scheduled in London next week, which Rubio suggested would be crucial in determining the U.S.’s continued involvement in peace negotiations.
The U.S. and Ukraine are close to finalizing a minerals deal that has been linked to President Donald Trump’s peace efforts. The deal aims to provide the U.S. access to Ukraine’s mineral resources for investments and cooperation. Despite these advancements, Rubio’s comments highlighted the challenges in achieving a complete truce.
While tensions persist between Russia and Ukraine, Rubio described Thursday’s Paris talks as constructive. Russia has expressed openness to dialogue but negotiations remain complex. The U.S., along with European allies, is pushing for peace in Ukraine, marking the biggest security challenge in Europe since World War II. The U.S. is also exploring potential security guarantees for Ukraine post-peace deal.
As deadly attacks continue in Ukrainian cities, the quest for peace remains urgent. Russia launched airstrikes causing civilian casualties in cities like Kharkiv and Sumy. The recent strikes have heightened concerns about the escalation of violence in the region. Despite ongoing challenges, the U.S. and its allies remain committed to resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
