Rubio: Ukraine has to make concessions - in sight at the end of the war?

The designated US Secretary of State Marco Rubio conveyed a clear message in his nomination: the Ukraine conflict must be ended, and “concessions” are necessary for peace on both sides. Rubio emphasized that the idea that Ukraine could recapture its occupied areas was "unrealistic" and stated that Russia would not be able to take control of the entire Ukraine. This was in the reports of Today.at and Newsweek further executed.

Rubio, which acts as part of the Trump administration, emphasized the challenges of a peace plan that will not be easy to implement. He notes that the United States has to make diplomatic efforts to achieve a possible ceasefire. Realism is required: "There will have to be concessions, both from the Russian and the Ukrainian side," said Rubio. The background of these statements lies in the continued escalation of the conflict, which has now lasted over 1,000 days, with an estimated over one million victims.

Rubios comments come at a time when the support of the United States for Ukraine was strong under the outgoing President Joe Biden, but Trump seems to want to run a different course during his tenure. He has signaled to bring about a quick peace of peace and rejects the billions of billions for Ukraine. Critics fear that Ukraine could come under pressure to make considerable territorial concessions if the US aids fail to do so. Rubio also noticed that NATO allies should have more personal responsibility for their defense, which could change the dynamics of transatlantic relationships.
