With a view of a ceasefire for Ukraine, the USA put pressure on Moscow and Kyiv. If there are no progress, the United States put back as an intermediary, the Foreign Minister repeated. The decision is at Trump.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has once again threatened to give up the United States their role as an intermediary in the war against Ukraine. Moscow and Kyiv should submit suggestions to terminate the war, said the Republican. “The two parties have to submit concrete suggestions on how this conflict can be ended,” the AFP news agency quotes the 53-year-old. “As we continue from here, a decision by the President is now,” said Foreign Office Spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.
“If there is no progress, we will withdraw from this process as an intermediary,” said Bruce. She emphasized Trump's efforts to terminate the conflict and growing impatience on his part.
“None Three-day moment “
Already on Sunday, Rubio had said that the efforts for a ceasefire in Ukraine were faced with a possibly “very decisive week” – and indicated a withdrawal from the negotiations. The US government faces a decision about “whether this is an effort in which we want to be involved or whether it is time to concentrate on other topics that are just as important or even more important,” said the Foreign Minister.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently proposed a three -day ceasefire around the celebrations in Moscow on the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The US government “does not want a three-day moment so that you can celebrate something else,” said Ministry spokeswoman Bruce. A “complete, permanent ceasefire and an end to the conflict” is necessary.
The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj again called for an “unconditional and full ceasefire” as the first step of Russia on Tuesday. Moscow had to take “clear step” towards an end of the war. “We all want this war to end fairly – without rewards for Putin, especially no country,” said Selenskyj by video count at a summit of regional states.
Rubio also made it clear how big the dissatisfaction in Washington is revealed in a phone call with his Russian colleague Sergei Lavrov. He had emphasized that the Ukraine War had to end now. The United States was serious about wanting to reach an end to this “senseless war”, Bruce quoted the minister. The conversation took place on Sunday.
