Rubio Says US Ready to Mediate Future Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is prepared to act as a mediator in future peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine if both sides return to dialogue. Rubio expressed hope that Moscow and Kyiv would soon resume direct discussions. "We’re the only country in the world that can mediate and bring a conclusion to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The President wants to see the war end and if there’s something we can do to help it end, we are going to do it," Rubio said.
