Rubio Questions Whether Negotiated Peace in Ukraine Is Achievable

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he does not know whether a negotiated peace in Ukraine is achievable, adding that Washington is still trying to find out. Speaking after a G20 foreign ministers’ meeting in Atlanta, he cautioned that no settlement appears close. Disputes over territory and security guarantees remain unresolved ahead of expected trilateral talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the United States in Abu Dhabi. Rubio defended keeping diplomatic channels open, arguing that reaching an agreement requires communication with both sides. The G20 meeting ended without a joint communique
