The United States may participate in the next phase of negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, as territorial issues remain a central point of discussion. Operative Information Center-OMM reports that these remarks were made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the current status of the peace process.
"The territorial issue discussed in the negotiations to end the war in Ukraine has not yet been resolved. This is still a bridge that must be crossed. Active work is being carried out to coordinate the positions of the parties on the territorial issue," Rubio stated. He further noted that the situation regarding the settlement remains highly volatile and is developing rapidly. Rubio also emphasized that European countries would be unable to provide effective security guarantees to Ukraine without the direct involvement of the United States.
The statement comes as US President Donald Trump's administration continues to prioritize a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Since taking office in January 2025, US President Donald Trump has signaled a shift toward active mediation to ensure regional stability. The involvement of the US Secretary of State underscores Washington's commitment to overseeing security arrangements in Europe and navigating the complex geopolitical landscape resulting from the protracted conflict.
