Shafaq News/ The United States mayreconsider its mediation role in Ukraine if current peace efforts fail,Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned on Friday.
Speaking before departing Paris, Rubioemphasized that Washington’s involvement is rooted in a desire to end theconflict, not to claim ownership of it. “It’s not our war. We didn’t start it,”he said, noting US support for Ukraine over the past three years.
Rubio, joined by special envoy SteveWitkoff, held meetings with European and Ukrainian officials to jumpstartstalled negotiations. He pointed out that President Donald Trump hasconsistently pushed for diplomacy, “President Trump has spent 87 days at thehighest level of this government repeatedly making efforts to bring this war toan end… We are now reaching a point when we need to decide whether this is evenpossible.”
“That’s why we’re engaging both sides,” heremarked.
In March, Russia-US talks in Riyadhfocused on efforts to negotiate a partial ceasefire, particularly in the Black Searegion, to protect shipping and civilian infrastructure. Despite ongoing USmilitary support for Ukraine, the ceasefire initiative has largely unraveled,with both sides accusing each other of violations.
Russia claims Ukrainian forces targetedsites in Bryansk, Kursk, and Crimea, while Kyiv denies the allegations,insisting no operations have taken place since March 25.
Russian President Vladimir Putin hasinsisted that any long-term resolution must include binding security guaranteesfor Moscow.
The war, which erupted in February 2022after Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatists in eastern Ukraine, hasled to thousands of casualties, widespread displacement, and continuedsanctions that are straining Russia’s economy and global markets.
