Rubio: Ukraine and Russia must focus on ending the war

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters during his visit to Uzbekistan on Monday that Ukraine and Russia should focus on ending the war between them.

In response to a question about the possibility of a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian and Chinese counterparts, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, to negotiate an end to the four-year-old conflict in Ukraine, Rubio said, “There is talk of holding a meeting. I don’t know if it has been finalized, but the president has been clear. He wants to end the war between Ukraine and Russia.”
