Rubio: Trump ready to help end Ukraine war through diplomacy

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the war in Ukraine will end only through diplomacy, as continued fighting benefits neither side. He stated Washington is ready to facilitate dialogue, though negotiations have not yet produced an agreement. Rubio noted the front-line situation is extremely difficult for both Ukraine and Russia, with devastating losses for Kyiv and setbacks for Moscow. He called a ceasefire a logical step, adding that President Donald Trump is prepared to use U.S. resources to bridge differences when a real opportunity emerges. Rubio expressed confidence that neither side can achieve an unconditional military victory, and the war will conclude at the negotiating table. He stressed that faster diplomatic resolution would save lives and reduce destruction.
