U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined steps to restore U.S.-Russia relations and end the Ukraine war, emphasizing diplomacy, expert negotiations, and economic opportunities. He stressed the need for compromise on sanctions and reaffirmed President Trump’s commitment to lasting peace.
On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined the next steps in efforts to restore relations with Russia and bring an end to the three-year-long conflict in Ukraine.
His remarks came following a meeting with a RussLian delegation led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, which also included presidential aide Yury Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
Rubio described a multi-track approach to the process, starting with ensuring the proper functioning of diplomatic missions in both countries. He emphasized that the first phase is to enable embassies and consulates to operate effectively, as maintaining open communication channels is essential.
The second phase involves assembling a team of high-level experts to engage with Russian counterparts on defining the conditions for ending the conflict, which began in February 2022. Rubio underscored the necessity of consulting with Ukraine and European allies.
The third focuses on identifying potential geopolitical and economic opportunities that could emerge once the war is resolved. He noted the possibility of "historic" economic collaborations and partnerships on shared interests.
Regarding sanctions imposed due to the war, Rubio stressed that a resolution would require compromises from all sides.
While calling the meeting an initial step in what is expected to be a "long and difficult journey," Rubio expressed optimism about Russia’s willingness to engage in meaningful discussions. He reaffirmed President Donald Trump’s commitment to securing a lasting peace that prevents the recurrence of conflict within a few years.
