US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that President Donald Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin depends on the progress in the end of the war in Ukraine. He reported this in an interview with a journalist Catherine Herridge, commenting on negotiations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergiy Lavrov in Saudi Arabia.
Rubio stressed that the United States did not plan to meet between leaders without a prior understanding of its content and possible results. "Such meetings are usually not held until it is clearly determined what it will be discussed," he said.
At the same time, he suggested that if there is significant progress in the settlement of war, and the meeting will be part of the peace agreement, it will be a major diplomatic victory for Trump.
Whether this meeting will take place in the near future, it is still unknown, but Rubio's statements indicate that the United States is ready to consider dialogue with a peaceful settlement.
