Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Wednesday that a breakthrough in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia may not happen soon, but the Trump administration has made significant progress in negotiations compared to last year, UNN reports with reference to AP.
"If you look at the list of outstanding issues that existed at this time last year, and the list of outstanding issues that remain now in terms of reaching a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, that list has significantly shrunk," Rubio said.
According to him, "that's the good news, the bad news is that the most difficult issues remain. And in the meantime, the war continues."
