"Trump wants to end human suffering, not increase or expand it. We have to get them both to the table, starting with the Russians, so we met with them last week, and the main question of that meeting was: "Are you interested in ending this conflict or not?" Many people do not know the answer to this question. If you talk to someone in Europe, they will tell you that Putin is not interested in ending the war. They said they would, under the right conditions. We have not discussed what those conditions are. So, the next step is to meet with them again at some point, with the right group of people in the room, and start outlining what it would take for Russia to stop the war. And obviously, we have to ask Ukraine the same question, because you can't stop a war unless both sides agree to it," Rubio said.
He noted that regardless of whether it takes days or weeks, the US will begin the process of negotiations with both sides.
