Rubio answered questions live on BBC Breakfast about what he expects from today's negotiations with Ukraine as he was heading to the meeting. "[It] will be good," he replied.
As the publication notes, "what the Americans want from this is a sign that - from their point of view - the Ukrainians are now committed to the process that President Trump wants to implement – essentially, a quick ceasefire between Ukrainians and Russians." "Ukrainians are most afraid that this will happen without security guarantees that would effectively control this ceasefire," the publication writes.
This question, as indicated, was posed to the head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak before he entered. He said that "they will continue to seek this security guarantee," but he added that "today is more about a constructive process on how to move towards a ceasefire," the publication writes.
