US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance have called fake news about internal disagreements in President Donald Trump's team over the settlement of the russian-Ukrainian war, which also referred to the pressure of US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll on Ukraine with statements about the threat of an imminent defeat of the Armed Forces in order to accept a peace agreement.
They said this on X.
"This story is just the latest example of a long-running series of 100% fake news reports claiming a rift inside the Trump administration over how to end the war in Ukraine. These people don’t just get things wrong, they literally make things up," Rubio wrote about the NBC News article.
Rubio's message was commented on by US Vice President J.D. Vance.
"The media is lying in order to derail the president's agenda. It's really that simple," he said.
An article citing sources states that US Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll told Ukrainian officials during a recent visit to Kyiv that the situation at the front is becoming critical and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may face imminent defeat. According to the sources, the harsh warnings came after Driscoll presented a peace plan.
"The message was simple: you are losing, and you need to accept," the newspaper wrote.
NBC also reported on internal disagreements within Trump's team over how to end the war. Allegedly, one camp, which includes Vice President J.D. Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, demands pressure on Kyiv to conclude a deal, while the other, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, insists that it is russia that is responsible for the war and emphasizes the need to strengthen sanctions against it.
Trump said that he sent his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to moscow to agree on a "peaceful plan" to end the war in Ukraine. At the same time, US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll will travel to Ukraine.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, during a conversation with Ushakov Witkoff gave instructions on how putin should talk to Trump, a transcript was published.
