Trump does not like wars: State Secretary Rubio suddenly voiced the loss of Russians since the beginning of 2025
Rubio stated this in Kuala Lumpur, where he met with the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov. Marco Rubio reported that Trump considers wars "a waste of money and lives" and then voiced the losses of Russia since the beginning of 2025: 100 thousand dead. There are less losses in Ukraine, Rubio said. "We understand that such things require time and patience. But, of course, we also feel disappointed because of insufficient progress.
We hope that today's events and in the coming days will clarify what is the exact position and priorities of Russia in this matter, and we will be able to start moving forward," he said. Rubio also reported that the President of the United States should decide on the draft law on strengthening sanctions against the Russian Federation. He confirmed that in general, assistance to Ukraine continues on a schedule approved by Congress.
"I would say that the vast majority of military assistance provided by the United States of Ukraine has never stopped and continues on the same schedule," Rubio said. According to him, there was no political decision not to supply weapons to Ukraine. There was a revision, and the supply of certain ammunition was temporarily suspended for this review. "No one has ever said that we would not supply weapons to Ukraine. It has been approved by Congress and continues.
And it continues to this The President was clear, our position has not changed what we have, "Rubio said. He stressed that once Ukraine is a priority for Europe, these countries should share Patriot batteries that Ukrainians need. Rubio briefly told what he spoke with Lavrov. "Today there was an exchange of ideas, some points of view they have expressed to us. I will pass it on to the President, and I hope it will lead to something. I do not want to make high promises," the Secretary of State said.
