According to the Secretary of State, the complete ceasefire, according to the State Secretary, rejected the Russian side and set a number of conditions for this. A significant obstacle was the list of objects that can or cannot be struck, convinced Rubio. The Secretary of State is convinced that in weeks, not a month, everyone knows whether the Russian Federation is ready to complete the war. This decision should be approved by President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine, for its part, showed readiness for peace and creating a space for negotiations. "Soon, not six months later, Putin should show if he is ready for peace. I hope the Russians will be ready and it will be good," the State Department head added. If the United States see that Russian troops are preparing a new offensive on Ukraine, it will be clear that they are not interested in peace. States, in his opinion, do not want to follow tactics of delay and expectations.
US President Donald Trump will not negotiate with Moscow. If the Kremlin does not show unwillingness before the end of the war, the states will revalue the situation, he added. The US Congress has already begun to prepare a bill on increasing the level of sanctions in case of refusal of Russia. There is less time to make decisions, and there should now be progress in ceasefire. The threat of new sanctions was clearly brought to the attention of Moscow, summed up the State Secretary.
