Ahead of the meeting between US President donald trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a big statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has come to the fore. He bluntly said that both ukraine and russia will have to make concessions to each other to reach a peace agreement. During this, he once again warned Putin of additional sanctions.
Marco Rubio's statement comes at a time when several reports claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has laid down the condition of handing over the eastern region of Donbass to moscow to end the war. At the same time, Ukrainian President Zelensky has clearly refused to give up any area for peace.
If there is no peace, people will continue to die - Marco Rubio
US Secretary of State Rubio said that the US will continue to make every effort to help ukraine and russia reach an agreement. He also said that it may not be possible for Washington to make any special plan to end the war that has been going on for more than three years. Marco Rubio said in an interview to the Face the Nation show that if peace is not reached between russia and ukraine and it continues like a war, then thousands of people will continue to die.
Marco Rubio again warned Russia
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also warned that if a peace agreement is not reached, russia will have to face consequences like additional sanctions. US President donald trump will meet with Zelensky at the white house on monday (August 18, 2025), in which leaders of european countries will also be present. The Russia-Ukraine peace agreement is going to be discussed in this meeting.
Trump and Putin met in Alaska on friday (August 15, 2025), but no agreement was reached on a ceasefire. However, both leaders definitely said that the talks were good and were very positive in terms of a peace agreement. After the Alaska summit, trump said, "I hope the agreement we have reached will help bring us closer to finding a solution and pave the way for peace in Ukraine."
