Rubio Says Limited Ukraine Ceasefires Cannot Lead to Lasting Settlement, TASS Reports
The US Secretary of State said a partial truce could still ease some global pressures even if it falls short of a full settlement, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that limited ceasefires in the war in Ukraine cannot by themselves lead to a lasting settlement, according to TASS.
Despite that assessment, Rubio reportedly believes a partial truce could still help alleviate some of the broader global pressures stemming from the conflict.
The remarks come amid continued international discussion over the shape a potential ceasefire or peace settlement in Ukraine might take.
TASS did not provide the full context of Rubio's remarks, including where or when they were made, in its initial report.
The comments add to the range of positions expressed by US officials on the conditions under which a durable resolution to the war might be reached.
