US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the US will immediately talk to Russia about the Ukraine war. After the talks in Saudi Arabia, Rubio said that he will talk to Russia as soon as Ukraine is ready for a month-long ceasefire.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that he will talk to Russia as Ukraine prepares for a ceasefire. Rubio says that it is now Moscow's turn to take the next step. Rubio, who arrived in Ireland from Saudi Arabia, told reporters at Shannon Airport that the United States will strongly urge Russia to end all hostilities.
'We will contact them today. We are contacting various levels of counterparts and various members of the administration. And that will continue," Rubio said. Expressing the hope of getting a positive response from Russia, Rubio said that there is no military solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. "We'll take it straight to them," he said, adding, "The ball is really in their court."
But Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson of the Russian Presidential Office, Kremlin, has responded that he is waiting for detailed information from the American side about the talks . He said that it is necessary to analyze the commitment of the Americans before commenting on the possible ceasefire that was agreed upon in the talks.
"We are closely analyzing everything that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said in Jeddah yesterday," Kremlin spokesman Peskov told reporters. He said that Russia is waiting for detailed information about the talks to come from various diplomatic channels in the coming days.
Regarding the possible talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, Peskov said that if necessary, a telephone conversation could be held "very soon". But he says that President Putin will only talk to Trump.
Therefore, he says that the Kremlin is holding the ball thrown in its court for the time being until it has all the information it needs to take its steps. But before that, Russian President Putin repeatedly rejected the temporary ceasefire proposal, arguing that Ukraine would use the opportunity to rearm and regroup.
Ukraine has accepted the American proposal for a month-long ceasefire in the talks held on Tuesday at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiha, Defense Minister Rustema Umerov, Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak participated in the talks. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan and National Security Advisor Mossad bin Mohammed Al-Aiwan were present in the American team led by Foreign Minister Marco Rubio.
