U.S. Secretary of State MARCO RUBIO warned that Washington will impose new sanctions on Russia if peace talks do not move forward.
He added that the U.S. hopes Moscow will present ceasefire terms "in a number of days" that could allow progress in negotiations.
Previously, Rubio had stated that Russia’s continued imposition of unacceptable conditions would significantly influence Washington’s stance.
“So we don't want to be involved in this process of just endless talks, there has to be some progress, some movement forward,” he emphasized.
He also stated that Congress is preparing a new sanctions package, and if Russia continues to delay without compromise, the Senate will act independently of the White House.
Rubio had noted that a bill led by senator Lindsey Graham already has the support of 80 senators—enough to override a presidential veto.
