Secretary of State Marco Rubio alerted Tuesday that the United States will end mediation unless Russia and Ukraine make concrete proposals on ending the war, his spokeswoman stated.
We are now at a time where concrete proposals need to be delivered by the 2 celebrations on how to end this conflict, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce informed reporters, in what she said was a message from Rubio.
If there is not progress, we will step back as conciliators in this process.
She stated it would eventually depend on President Donald Trump to decide whether to continue on diplomacy.Russian President Vladimir Putin recently proposed a three-day ceasefire around Moscows ceremonies of completion of World War II however has actually rebuffed a Ukrainian-backed United States call for a 30-day ceasefire.The United States wants not a three-day moment so you can commemorate something else a complete, long lasting ceasefire and an end to the dispute, Bruce stated.
