U.S. Urges Russia to Prove Peace Intentions in Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed the United States' dedication to securing a peace deal in Ukraine during his remarks on Saturday. He addressed ongoing doubts about Russia's genuine interest in halting hostilities.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Rubio remarked, "We don't know that the Russians are serious about ending the war. They say they are." His statement underscores the cautious approach being adopted in assessing Russia's declarations.

Rubio further explained that the U.S. would persistently evaluate and verify Russia's intentions, ensuring that diplomatic efforts remain grounded in reality. This stance reflects a broader strategy of maintaining pressure while seeking a resolution.
