Ukraine War Faces Risk of Escalation, Warns Rubio
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of a real risk of escalation in the Ukraine war due to Ukraine's ability to strike deep inside Russian territory.
Ukrainian drones recently hit energy infrastructure in St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city, as retaliation for Russian strikes killing at least 23 people.
Rubio testified to a Senate panel that Ukraine has become more effective at long-range strikes inside Russia, increasing the risk of escalation.
He expressed concern over the lack of progress toward peace, noting that neither Ukraine nor Russia has made necessary concessions to end the conflict.
