US EditionUS threatens to quit Russia-Ukraine effort unless 'concrete proposals'
- On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the U.S. might cease its mediation efforts if Russia and Ukraine fail to present clear proposals to resolve their ongoing conflict.
- This warning builds on US impatience over the conflict, which was an early priority for President Trump, who vowed to end the war within 24 hours of taking office 100 days ago.
- Russian forces are closing in on seven villages in eastern Dnipropetrovsk, which Ukraine ordered evacuated on Tuesday, while Russia has unsuccessfully tried for over three years to penetrate the region from Donetsk.
- State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce, relaying Rubio's statement, emphasized that both sides must present clear plans to resolve the conflict, warning that the US will withdraw from its mediator role if no progress is made.
- The situation suggests a possible US shift away from mediation unless significant diplomatic advances occur, while President Zelensky and US Senator Shaheen have emphasized ending the war without territorial concessions to Russia.
