Rubio: Ukraine peace deal ‘closer,’ but sides still ‘a little far apart’
- On May 1, Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, indicated that Russia and Ukraine are nearer to reaching a peace agreement than at any previous point since the conflict began in 2022.
- This development follows prolonged conflict escalation and diplomatic efforts under the Biden and Trump administrations, with some reports suggesting the US may reduce mediation if progress stalls.
- Rubio noted remaining significant differences, especially over territory, NATO membership, and sovereignty claims, with Zelensky rejecting concessions and labeling some proposals manipulative.
- Rubio affirmed, "We're not going to give up on it," but warned the US will reassess its engagement if talks do not soon produce concrete ideas between the sides.
- The conflict’s resolution remains uncertain and difficult, as the US balances support for Ukraine with its own priorities amid ongoing international tensions and humanitarian impacts.
