Rubio echoed Trump's position when he spoke about possible withdrawal of US from peace efforts in Ukraine – CNN

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio "was communicating” the views of US President Donald Trump with his comments that the US may abandon attempts to conclude a peace agreement between russia and Ukraine.

CNN reported this, citing a source familiar with the negotiations on a peace settlement in Ukraine.

Thus, characterizing the administration's position, the source said that President Donald Trump " doesn’t have limitless patience for people to posture and play games."

In particular, Rubio reported the President's "frustration" that progress in peacemaking is not " where he thought it would be at this point."

The source pointed to three meetings between Trump's diplomatic representative Steve Witkoff and russian president vladimir putin, as well as numerous meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which an end to the war in Ukraine, which has been going on for more than three years, was discussed.

"It's time to get serious," the source said.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio previously said the US would abandon attempts to broker a peace deal between russia and Ukraine within days unless there were clear signs that a deal could be struck.
