U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, acknowledged that he does not know if Russia is serious about ending its war against Ukraine, LETA reports citing DPA.
“We don’t know if the Russians are serious about ending the war — they say they are — and under what conditions they would be willing to do so, and whether we can find conditions acceptable to Ukraine,” Rubio stated.
Recently, the U.S. has intensified diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Next week, new negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian delegations will take place in Geneva.
At the Munich Security Conference, Rubio also addressed a number of other issues, particularly noting that mass migration destabilizes the West.
“Mass migration has not been and is not some insignificant, marginal issue. It has been and remains a crisis that transforms and destabilizes societies across the Western world,” the U.S. Secretary of State stated.
The U.S. and Europe do not need to apologize for their heritage, Rubio noted, adding that Western culture and history are “unique, distinctive, and irreplaceable.”
The revival of transatlantic ties, based on a shared heritage, “would reflect and hold back the forces of civilization erasure that today threaten both America and Europe,” emphasized the U.S. Secretary of State.
