Hope for progress

"I hope that we will have a really good meeting tomorrow and that we will soon be at another point," said Rubio. "We will not find it out via X or in press conferences; we have to experience it in closed rooms," he added, just a little more than a week after the disastrous meeting between Trump and Selenskyj in front of the cameras.

listening and the Ukrainian perspective

Rubio and Waltz, who will meet the national security advisor, the Foreign Minister and the Defense Minister of Ukraine, will be in a “listening position”, according to the US diplomat. "They suffered enormously, the people in Ukraine have experienced great suffering. It is difficult to talk about concessions after something like this, but that's the only way to prevent further suffering," said Rubio and added that "he will not put any conditions for what they do or have to do".

perspective of the Ukrainian President

In a post on X Last Thursday, Selenskyj said that he hoped that the meeting would be "significant". "Ukraine strives for peace from the start, and we have always emphasized that the war continues only because of Russia.

The US Foreign Minister said that he did not necessarily expect a contract for minerals between the USA and Ukraine-a topic that was largely negotiated before the Oval Office meeting. "There are more details to clarify," he said.
