“Apart, we will be ready to help when you are ready for peace, but we will not continue this effort for weeks and months,” said Rubio, remembering that the war initiated in February 2022 by the Russian invasion of Ukraine “takes place in the European continent.”
“If it is not possible, if we move away so much that it is not achieved (La Paz), then I think that the president will reach a point where he will say: ‘Well, it is over'”, Rubio insisted. “We have to determine very quickly, and I talk about days, if it is feasible in the coming months,” he added.
The demands
Since he returned to the White House in January, Republican tycoon Donald Trump has sought an approach with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, in an effort to end the war. The US tries to achieve a quick fire in Ukraine, but the negotiations have stagnated. Russia and Ukraine have put obstacles to achieve the end of the war. Russia demands that Ukraine not enter NATO and the European Union, but kyiv has stated that he is not willing to compromise his entry to the European bloc.
The European Commissioner for Expansion, Marta Kor, said the government of Ukraine He informed him that he will not compromise his inclusion in the EU in exchange for a agreement of peace that promotes the United States, one of the requests of Russia To achieve the end of the war that has been three years.
According to an interview with Kor, conducted by the European Editor of Agencies and published by the Spanish newspaper El Debate, kyiv considers that “the most effective peace tool” remains to enter the European bloc.
According to Kos, the commission is working “two or three times faster” on the issue of entry of Ukraine to the block, but there is a veto of Hungary that prevents consensus. In that sense, he said that in the last Foreign Council “the majority of Member States” were favorable to open the first group of negotiation chapters with Moldova and Ukraine as soon as possible. However, he acknowledged that unanimity is required to 27 and for the moment they are 26, “he said.
Under the pressure of Washington, kyiv accepted a cessation without fighting for 30 days, which Russia limited the energy structures and buildings.
For their part, France and the United Kingdom created a “coalition of volunteers”, composed of about thirty allied countries of Ukraine, which works mainly to guarantee a possible fire.
On Thursday night there were new Russian bombings against several cities of Ukraine, which killed at least two people and wounded 40, according to the Ukrainian authorities.
