U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged for a swift peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, as the Trump administration decides whether to continue mediation.
Rubio emphasized that resources cannot be dedicated indefinitely without progress, stressing that this week will be crucial in deciding whether to move forward or focus on other issues. His comments came after President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Rome during Pope Francis's funeral to revive peace talks.
