"Russians voiced a number of conditions": Rubio revealed the details of a truce agreement in the Black Sea (video)
He reported that according to the results of two meetings with the Ukrainian delegation and one with the Russian USA have a preliminary Agreement on the Armistice in the Black Sea. In general, the negotiations have made it possible to more accurately outline the conditions of stopping the impact on energy facilities and reaching the "silence" agreement in the water area. "Obviously, after our meeting, the Russians have voiced a number of conditions they want to see the fulfilled.
We are now analyzing them. Some of these conditions concern sanctions that have been imposed not by us but by the European Union," the US Secretary of State said. He explained that after the return of the delegation, Washington's policies will sit at the table, review the proposals and analyze the impressions to better understand the position and requirements of the Russian Federation. The conclusions are then presented by US President Donald Trump, whose decision depends on the following steps.
"It is important that both Ukrainians and Russians are talking about the ceasefire - whether in the sphere of energy or in the Black Sea. But it is difficult and hard work," Rubio emphasized. He recalled that the full -scale war has been going on for over three years. It is accompanied by a globally constructed complex system of sanctions, which will have to be taken into account as part of a potential peace agreement. However, the United States needs to consider many aspects.
"The only way to make progress is to conduct a dialogue with both sides, to understand their requirements and possible compromises. We will be able to evaluate in detail the results of negotiations - with both Ukrainians and Russians, compare their demands, compare them and make a decision on further steps. According to him, "everyone must rejoice" that the US is involved in the peace process. He warned that it would not be easy and will take time.
However, Rubio assured that Washington is already on this path, already negotiations and is "testing opportunities". Trump is convinced that he is the only leader in the world capable of gathering Ukraine and Russia for negotiations. "Even if they are in separate rooms - at least they happen. This is the first time in a long time when we see a dialogue on this issue. But we still need a lot, and we will learn more when we get reports from our team," the politician added.
Recall that US Presidential Special Supporter Donald Trump Kit Kelloggus stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not leave temporarily occupied lands, and the world does not recognize these territories legally in Russian. According to him, you need to look for an option that "satisfy both sides". The Armed Forces General Staff responded to Russia's accusations that Ukraine allegedly violated the conditions of the truce for 30 days in blows to energy infrastructure.
