US will abandon Ukraine peace push if no progress 'within a matter of days,' Rubio says
PARIS (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump will walk away from efforts to broker a Russia-Ukraine peace deal within days unless there are clear signs that a deal can be done, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday.
"We're not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I'm talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks," Rubio said in Paris after meeting European and Ukrainian leaders.
"If it's not possible, if we're so far apart that this is not going to happen, then I think the president is probably at a point where he's going to say, 'well, we're done'."
Three European diplomatic sources told Reuters Rubio's comments, which coincided with signs of some progress in U.S. talks with Ukraine, reflected growing frustration in the White House over Russian intransigence to end the war.

And Ukraine will be much better off for EU leading peace talks.
It's clear what needs to happen: ruskie gtf out of Ukraine & pay for all damages they have inflicted. Return all 35k disappeared from Ukraine!
“If I were president, and I say this, I will end that war in one day, it would take 24 hours,” Mr Trump said. “I know [Volodymyr] Zelensky well, I know [Vladimir] Putin well. I would get that ended in a period of 24 hours. It would be easy, that deal would be easy.”
