"There are more important questions": Trump can leave attempts to complete the war in Ukraine - Rubio

To spread: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio believes that the war in Ukraine cannot be completed in military manner, but the Russian and Ukrainian sides "are still far from each other" on the way to a peace agreement. The US government noted that the US President should determine the time that he can still devote to the Russian-Ukrainian war before he proceeds to more urgent issues. The head of the State Department said this in an interview with Fox News on May 2.

"This is a war that does not have a military decision: in fact, Putin cannot capture the whole of Ukraine; Ukraine cannot push the Russians to where they were in 2014," Rubio said. He believed that Trump is the only world leader who can talk to both sides and bring them to a truce, and he made an effort to this efforts during the first 100 days of his second presidential term. "I think we know where Ukraine is, and we know where Russia is now and where Putin is. They are still far from each other.

They are closer, but they are still far from each other. And very soon it will take a real breakthrough to make it possible, or I think the President will have to make a decision about how much time we are going to. Rubio explained that at some point President Trump will have to decide how long his administration will be able to end the war in Ukraine, since both parties are still not close enough to it, and the US has many more, even more important issues.

"It is not that the war in Ukraine is not important, but I would say that what is happening with China is more important in the long run for the future. Obviously, Iran's nuclear ambitions, all these other things that are happening to us," the official said. Rubio added that this does not mean the state's refusal to provide feasible help, but at some point, if no peace is reached, Trump can decide to "move on".

US President Donald Trump called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to sign an agreement to end the war during a briefing on April 28. He said he wanted the Russian leader to "stop shooting, sat down and signed the agreement. " In an interview with Fox News on May 1, Vice president, US Vice -Cresident, admitted that he did not believe in the rapid end of the war in Ukraine.
