Ukraine wants solid security guarantees from the United States, but Trump’s government relies on another strategy – it comes to scandal. Foreign Minister Rubio shows what went wrong from a US perspective.
After the scandal in the White House, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasizes that Russia had to be involved in discussions with a view to the Ukraine War. “Maybe your demands or what you want are inappropriate. We don’t know,” said Rubio at the broadcaster ABC. “But we have to bring them to the negotiating table.”
Rubio was present when the meeting between US President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj escalated on Friday. In the ABC interview, the Foreign Minister now explained why Selenskyj’s appearance at Trump and whose vice JD Vance had caused such displeasure.
The security guarantees required by Ukraine, according to Rubio, initially requires peace. “We don’t even know whether peace is possible.” Therefore, the Kremlin must be approached. This was “repeatedly explained” on the Ukrainian side. Everyone knows the story behind the conflict, said Rubio. You don’t have to spread it again. Selenskyj has been instructed not to do anything that could endanger this strategy of the US government-but that is exactly what he did.
Rubio does not want to say anything about Kremlin and
When asked what concessions the US government awaits-after she had emphasized several times what Ukraine may have to give up-Rubio did not want to answer. “Why should I say that in a news program?” He replied. “That’s what negotiations are about. It is not about the outside communication, but about whether both sides can sit down at a table. Then the actual hard work begins.”
Rubio said that he had no contact with Selenskyj since the escalated meeting in the White House. It was at the Ukrainian president to approach Trump.
