Rubio says ‘we’ll find out pretty soon’ if Russia is ‘tapping us along’ in Ukraine talks
- On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the Trump administration anticipates soon clarifying whether Russia is genuinely pursuing peace talks regarding Ukraine or simply prolonging the process.
- The remarks followed meetings between Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and European and Ukrainian leaders amid stalled peace negotiations and a recent prisoner exchange.
- Discussions addressed ceasefire proposals, with the Vatican offering to host talks between Russia, Ukraine, and other parties, although Putin has yet to engage directly in negotiations.
- Rubio emphasized, "We'll find out pretty soon," adding that progress depends on realistic concessions in upcoming documents from both sides to move toward peace.
- If productive engagement occurs, direct Trump-Putin talks could break the impasse; otherwise, the administration may reassess its approach amid ongoing violence killing thousands weekly.
