From: Roman Sheremeta in Kyiv—If the U.S. fails to force Ukraine to capitulate, it will simply “move on.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that if there are no clear signs of progress toward a peace agreement, the U.S. will end its mediation efforts between russia and Ukraine.
“We need to determine within the next few days whether this agreement can be reached in the short term. If not, then I think we’ll simply move on. We are not going to continue these efforts for weeks and months,” Rubio said.
This is exactly what I said two months ago: for the current U.S. administration Ukraine is merely an obstacle to a stronger relationship with russia. If the U.S. can’t force Ukraine to capitulate, it will just walk away — and then blame Zelensky for the failure of negotiations.
