U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Friday that the US will “move on” from brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia if there is no progress “within a matter of days.”

The Details: The statement followed a meeting involving US, Ukrainian, and European officials. Rubio didn’t specify whether he was discussing efforts to reach a 30-day ceasefire or full negotiations to end the war. While the Trump administration campaigned on a quick end to the war, Rubio stressed that “It’s not our war,” and “we have other priorities to focus on.”

How the Media Covered It: The New York Times (Lean Left bias) suggested the remarks “were certain to worry Ukraine” and that “Mr. Trump has put virtually no pressure on Russia to end the war.” The report included a quote from the director of the New Geopolitics Research Network in Kyiv, stating that the US abandoning peace talks would “demonstrate Trump’s powerlessness regarding the Russia-Ukraine war.” BBC (Center) included quotes from Vice President J.D. Vance being “optimistic” about negotiations and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who stressed the difficulty of negotiations. BBC also contextualized Rubio’s remarks within an ongoing minerals deal and an investment fund for Ukraine's reconstruction. National Review News (Lean Right) reported that Trump has “handicapped Russia’s ability to fund its war” with sanctions and suggested ending the war has been a priority for Trump.

The Trump administration may abandon its mediation efforts with Russia and Ukraine if the conflict continues unabated without progress toward peace.

“If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, we need to move on,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Friday after meeting European and Ukrainian officials for negotiations in Paris. “The President has spent 87 days at the highest level of this government repeatedly taking efforts to bring this war to an end.”

The US will abandon trying to broker a Russia-Ukraine peace deal within days unless there are clear signs a truce can be reached, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned.

"We're not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end," Rubio said, adding that the US had "other priorities to focus on".

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and has placed a number of conditions on any potential ceasefire.

The United States will abandon efforts to end the war in Ukraine if it proves impossible to broker meaningful progress in the next several days, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said as he departed Paris on Friday a day after meeting with President Emmanuel Macron of France.

“If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, we need to move on,” Mr. Rubio told reporters, adding that the Trump administration would decide “in a matter of days whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks.”
