He made this statement just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said he believed Ukraine could continue to fight and win.
“It will end at a negotiating table. That’s where this war will end,” Rubio said.
“The United States remains as committed as it’s ever been to a peaceful resolution to this dangerous conflict.”
He urged the council, including Russia, to “do everything in their power” to “bring this war to an end.”
Rubio added that the war must end and that the United States has done and will continue to do everything possible to bring it to an end.
However, the war is not only stagnant but also appears to be escalating, as evidenced by Russian jet and drone incursions into NATO airspace.
His comments contradict Trump’s Truth Social post saying that Ukraine should continue fighting.
“Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” Trump said after the Sept. 23 meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
