US will abandon Ukraine peace efforts 'within days' if no progress made, Rubio warns [View all]
If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, the United States needs to abandon its efforts within “days” and move on, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday.
“We need to determine very quickly now, and I’m talking about a matter of days, whether or not this is doable,” he told reporters before departing Paris, where he had held high-level talks with European and Ukrainian officials.
The comments come a day after he and special envoy Steve Witkoff met with the European and Ukrainian allies as US President Donald Trump’s administration pushes for an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
A US-authored outline of a peace plan had received an “encouraging reception” at the talks, according to a State Department readout, which did not give details on the outline. Rubio also spoke with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and conveyed the same outline, the readout said.
