There was no official response from Moscow since American-Ukrainian negotiations were completed in Saudi Arabia after more than eight hours, Kiev agreed to the 30-day end of fire and the United States has rebuilt the Intelligence and Exchange of Intelligence.
– We all eagerly await the Russian response and strongly invite them to consider the interruption of all hostilities – he said rubio during stopping in Ireland on the way back to Washington.
– If they say “no,” then we will obviously have to examine everything and in some ways to understand where we are in the world and what are their true intentions. If they say no, it will tell us a lot about what their goals are and what their way of thinking is – he said.
He did not want to elaborate any US reaction if Russian officials quit agreement, but said that previous conversations with Moscow indicate a willingness to end the conflict.
Rubio said he believed that the ceasefire should and can be monitored in order to adhere to the truce.
American officials discussed territorial concessions in their conversations with Ukrainians, he said Rubio, but most of the talks related to how the negotiating process would look like.
Rubio stated that a key mineral agreement would be hopefully to sign with Ukraine, but he does not consider him a security guarantee, something in what Ukraine was pressure.
– Long-term security for Ukraine will surely have to be part of the conversation – he said Rubio.
– Ukraine wants their long-term security. So I think that the question actually refers to deterrence – he told Journalists from the head of American diplomacy.
– Can Ukraine create a sufficient means of deterrent from future aggression, from future attacks, from future invasion? He asked.
He added that Europeans will eventually have to be involved in discussions if they advanced because Russia will very much want to abolish European sanctions.
