US has shown Ukraine and Russia the path to peace - Rubio

“First of all, our partners have been offered options to discuss the things that will be needed to end the war. This war can be ended. Both sides have to agree on that. We have shown them the way forward,” he said.

The Secretary of State noted that discussions on these ideas took place, Ukrinform reported.

“Yesterday was a good meeting. There will be good meetings this weekend. We showed them the finish line. We need them both to say yes,” he said.

He commented on Russia's missile strike on Kiev, calling it a reminder to everyone why this war needs to end.

“Everybody should thank the president for being a peacemaker and trying to save lives. That's what we're trying to do here. This is not our war. We didn't start it, as you know, but we're trying to end the death. We're trying to end the destruction, and we've shown the way forward. We see the finish line, but it's up to both of us to get there,” Rubio said.

Rubio reiterated that the U.S. administration will do everything possible to make sure that, in the end, both sides say “yes.”
